Default Two-tone interior?

I was thinking about changing my interior over to black (to coincide with an exterior paint job). Original interior is '74 "medium saddle"...kinda tan.

When I started looking at the interior, I realized the dash & center console(s) are in great shape. Replacing and/or dying would be a big waste of time and/or money.

What do y'all think about a two-tone interior? Tan dash + center console and everything else black (carpet, seats, door panels, etc..)

???

I like a two tone interior. I have a silver and maroon two tone. My car was originally silver but it was painted at some point and the carpet was dyed and the seats were recovered.

There you go...looks good. Tan/black shouldn't be a problem, then.

My 78 is red, the interior is also red. It looks like red threw up. I perfer two tone, it brings out the detail. My vote (if it matters) is two tone, also black and tan would be unique and a good color combo.

Go for it, the red and black are awesome. The saddle and black would look good.

I think the color combo you are suggesting for your car would look good. I have saw some of C4 and C5 in this combo and think it looks nice. Go for it.
