I'm not much of a "two tone" interior guy, so you know what I'll say...

I would match it, but if your not crazy about the blue two-tone looks good when you do more of the interior in both colors. There is a thread of a red/black interior looks sweet. I added a brushed aluminum dash to my black interior to break it up a little.

I would match it up. The blue interior with blue carpet would look good.
I think the black carpet would be a distraction, and take away from your work and efforts to restore the interior.
