Choosing a seat color/interior color! omg!

Hi, it's been a short while since I've popped on here, but I'm still kickin! plus the 98-100 degree days are testy! lol

I'm inspired by Orrie's seat install and now just trying to come up with an interior color to go with one of these seats(or keep looking for something to pop up)? There are many seats available for the Tahoe, but not many color choices. These are local(sort of). I could go with a little darker color for the inside of the truck to offer a little contrast and then the carpet color~ well, just have to pick one!
I have to babysit all next week but should be able to start on the interior painting fairly soon, well, not until I repair the radio metal. I"ll just pull the seat out that's in it and just get temp seat/chair when I start the truck.
opinions?

IMHO either tan or grey would look the best with the color of your truck.

Re: Choosing a seat color/interior color! omg!

This set of seats is not far away from my home, and priced reasonably. Actually I don't need to rush out an buy them, just need to know what color seats I am going to get~ now I know, so I can start the cabin in a week(have to babysit all next week) I was also thinking if I wanted a deeper tan, I could dye the leather or vinyl? the idea popped in my head last night.
I had to call my husband over to look at photos and ask him which one is tan and which ones are beige! I guess I never learned to distinguish those colors very well! lol

Re: Choosing a seat color/interior color! omg!

you might ask the seller if he knows the color code the vehicle was, that will tell you if GM put them in trucks with a tanish grey rather than a blueish or silver grey. Mine are Medium Pewter and came out of a Silver Birch truck so that is the color I used for the interior. Depending on the lighting the Pewter can go from light silver to almost gold. I think the Cashmere leans towards the tan range which will work good with your color.

If you bought seats from a chrysler concorde you can get a charcoal leather low back bucket that would look good as well.
