Pic request: Black carpet in non-black interior
Toying with the idea of using a black carpet in my dark saddle interior. My daily driver has that combo and it looks great, but wondering if it will look as good in a C3 interior. Anyone have pics of a black carpet used in a non-black interior?

I'm a saddle interior guy with my 65 and could not vision black carpet.

I am planning on installing black carpet into a light saddle interior. I do not have the carpet in yet, but do have Dynamat laid down, so just imagine it as black carpet instead of Dynamat.

Just my opinion, but I think it works with the Oyster interior pictured here. With the saddle, probably not so much. I know the saddle carpet can show a lot of dirt sometimes. It's a poor hider.
I don't know what year your Corvette is but If you're looking for a contrast have you considered using a dark brown carpet like that offered in '76? Could be real sharp with the rest of your interior in saddle.

I figured the black would go well with my oyster interior, since there's already so much black ABS plastic in the mix to begin with. But the black certainly doesn't hide the white hairs my Spaniel is shedding. It does hide the black ones from him and my Rottie okay though.

Here's what it looks like now.

What about a darker brown carpet with the medium saddle? Or maybe you should do it DB Cooper's way and match the rug to your dog...

Not too many colors coordinate with brown. To my eye, the carpet would need to be either lighter or darker than the seats, but in the same tone. Even two brown colors might clash if one has some yellow in it and the other doesn't.
I'm not seeing the brown black mix... Sorry.

Here is mine so far.... new everything. I hate the nasty silver gray carpet.... went with black loop carpet and I am very happy with the look

While I'm usually hesitant to change colors on something as obvious as carpet can be, I think the black also looks good with jetglow's silver interior. I agree, the silver carpet can be a bad hider for soil marks, just like the light saddle carpet.
