Default Champagne II floor mats against black carpet?

Hrm... a bit too much do you think? I'm trying to figure what would look totally radical in my interior. Seats and console are Champagne II along with some champagne II & black on the door panels. Would floor mats be a bit much? Just black floor mats?

Also, which one of these matches best to Champagne II?: http://www.automotion.com/aux_incl/matcolor.htm I'm thinking Savannah, but sometimes my eyes play tricks on me.

Anyone with any pics of this colour combo I'm looking for? That would be great.

Thanks!

What are you going to do with your carpet? IMO, your floor mats should match the carpet. However, the floor mats that were in my car matched the Linen carpet and always looked filthy. After scrubbing them a few times just for them to be dirty again within a week, I tossed them in the trash. Since I needed new carpet, I went with all black this time. Carpet is coming from World Upholstery and the floor mats are Lloyd Ultramats with no embroidery.

As for matching, your best bet is going to order carpet samples from the vendor. Too much variation with cameras, lighting and displays to try to match it that way. If they won't send you carpet samples, then I'd find another vendor.

The Champaige you're putting in looks awesome against the black dash. MORE BLACK TO SET IT OFF! Go with the black carpets and black mats.
