Am I too old to buy a carbon?

Pretty sure I'm gonna buy a CX-5 this week. Only question is whether I buy a carbon or a preferred. I like the carbon external color, and don't really want black leather, but do want leather. The red is a little bit gaudy for me but the black gets so hot. Would love the parchment interior with the carbon or blue outside, but they don't have any and I need to bite the bullet on a new car.

I asked the salesman after the test drive if guys my age buy carbons (I'm 51). He was like "eeehhhhh... the red are a bit funky". Whilst impressed by his honesty it's making me think a little bit.
