Can't decide on interior color on a Gold 68, help!

Getting ready to order interior parts and I just cannot make up my mind.

So far I've gone from deciding on saddle then to white and now at black.

Here is a pic of the truck currently. Poor interior pic I know. Plan on painting it up 50th anniversary style but that is honestly
years down the road. This is just a driver for me,
not a show quality build or anything.

The interior color is originally that silverish fawn but I haven't been able to find door panels or armrests that color, just carpet.






Here is my arguments for and against the colors:

Saddle - Looks good but am afraid of ending up with 3-4 different
shades of saddle and don't want to have to spend money
getting stuff custom made to match. Or is it not really an issue?

White - Will show dirt much easier and I'm always working on
some project around the house so I will frequently jump in this dirty.
Will match the 50th color scheme when the time finally comes.

Black - Saw a thread with a 50th with black interior. Looks good but
gets hot here in AZ. No problems with color matching. Also my
current seat is trashed and if I find something from the junkyard
for the time being I can dye it black to match. Finding a brown/white
bench in the junkyard is pretty slim.

In reality any of them would be fine I just can't make up my mind!

Kinda sounds like black is going to work best for you. Also seems to be what you're leaning towards...and it will look good. I vote white (parchment) myself.

If you're worried about black being hot, tint your windows. You don't even need to go very dark with modern ceramic tint. It blocks a ton of heat out of the vehicle
