Charcoal /Black Interior ideas?

[Mattchu60]

I'm working on my truck again. Truck will be painted solid red outside. The Interior steel that is exposed will also be painted the same color red (like factory). For the rest of the interior I already have a black/red stitching TMI Seat, door panel and dash.

I have not ordered any carpet, seatbelts or headliner yet. I'm thinking about doing a few different things to break up all the black.

One idea - have the carpet be a dark gray/charcoal color instead of black to break it up a bit.

Another idea was to make the interior pillars and headliner be a gray color instead of black. My VW Jetta interior is all black below the pillars and gray from the pillars up, and it looks good - but it doesnt have that extra red like I will have here.

Anyone tried this or have any other ideas? I don't want it to be too "busy" - I already will have the red color on the exposed bottom half of the dash, and in all the stitching - that may be enough already. I'm going for classy, not gaudy in this build.

Any ideas or thoughts?

I like the lighter carpet, instead of black. That’s what I did. Seat will be Charcoal

I say go for it, it's always nice to see someone's take on their interior ideas.
