Two tone interior

I'm starting the interior in my blazer and I'm a little unsure exactly what colors I'm going with. My seats and door panels (panels have black inserts) are tan and I'm going to cover the rear side panels the same material as my seats. The problem I'm having is that I really dont like tan carpet, I want to go with black but I'm not sure if it will look out of place. Any opinions? anybody have pics?

Re: Two tone interior

Black would work, I have seen some people doing that and it looks good. But a darker brown would be the way to go.

Re: Two tone interior

I guess the brown would look good I just have to get over the idea of having brown interior, it just sounds so "shaggin van" to me ha ha. I guess brown would look ok with black paint too?

Re: Two tone interior

Interior looks pretty good so far. Like the others have said, probably a darker brown would work better than black.

Re: Two tone interior

I was going to say a darker brown. Before a black I think it would look good.
