Default Interior color question.......

Ever since seeing those new seat covers you can buy in two tone colors, I have wanted to do something similar to my vette. My problem is, I dont know what would look good. I would like to do it black/red like 1989Redvette did his, but my car is a dark red metallic and im not sure if bright red seats would look right. His car looks damn nice though
My question is, is there another factory interior leather color that I could refer to that would make a better match for this type of accent? I know there was an earlier c4 option for burgandy colored seats, but i havent seen a good enough pic to know if they would look right or not.

Thanks in advance

i can tell you when i called corvette america to oreder mine they make them as they are ordered and you can choose any of the corvette leather colors i believe,,, the 84-87 red is darker.. and mine is the 88-92 red and then there is even brighter torch red for 93 up.. to be honest mine are not as bright as the pics make them to be but close.. maybe a call or two to corvette america will net you some results.. teh saleman told me if i was not happy with the quality or color i could even return them.. hope some of this helps

Maybe a subtle black/charcoal? There just isn't much (other than dark red) that would match your interior...

Thats what I was thinking....I want dark red, I just need to find out what matches. If not, charcoal or a dark gray could work

My 84 has the carmine red interior. That should go well with the dark red metallic. Although the black / charcoal would look really good too.
