Default Mats

My cashmere mats are too light, and I want to replace them with something that matches the rear cargo carpet. Right now, I've got my Suburban's middle row summer mats over my cashmeres. It's goofy looking, and they move around. Although the taupe color isn't too bad.
Should I go graphite with Lloyds mats?
Should I go with with C6 mats, but what color?
I don't want to go black, as I think that's too dark, and will show lighter dirt.

Black shows lighter dirt . That is easer to clean then Darker dirt on a lighter color

I agree with you, but I don't think I want to go black front mats.
Lloyds has a graphite color, and I was hoping to find out if that would match the rear cargo mat the best.

'Best' is a hard term. However, the ebony mats are close. Black doesn't match as closely.

I can get you some pics or a Lloyds part number later tonight if you like but you may not be able to tell the difference in the pics.

CORRECTION:
They came from Corvettes of Houston and were called "Ebony" not Graphite.....but they still match and they are not Black!
Sorry for the incorrect name...I'll get you pic tomorrow evening.

I had wanted to match the rear also. I ended up with black.

Have you looked at the LLoyds site: Here is the link

http://www.lloydmats.com/ultimat_colors_greys.htm

Please note, your monitor settings will show the colors as being different from the actual color.

Yep, lloyd's ebony is the closest match. Ebony also matches up well with the dash.
