Default Cashemere interior, black or cashmere floor mats?

I'll be picking up a new set of floor mats for my coupe with the black and cashmere interior. Now, I don't have the deviating interior black carpets, they are cashmere in color like the rest of the lower interior. My original floor mats are cashmere. If it were you, would you stay with cashmere for the replacement mats or go with the much more practical black that don't look bad either?

I would go with the black floor mats If I lived in a cold, rainy place. It will make the dirt less noticeable. Plus, I like the contrast myself. Just my 2 cents.

Jeff, will this be your daily driver? If so, go black. If not, go cashmere.

It will not be a daily driver. Thanks for the thoughts.

I have a pretty much stock cashmere interior with black dash etc. Car came with cashmere mats and I've stuck with that color. They don't last forever, but then again: I don't see dirt standing out on my black mats either.

Hell: I live in Maine. The car's lucky it doesn't have a crate of bloodworms in the back.

cashmere - to much contrast is a visual killer

Personally I think black looks good in my red car with cashmere interior. It had cashmere before and that of course looked good too, but now with black I don't have to be so worried about keeping them from getting stained.

If it were only a question of looks, I would go with cashmere.

I use really black mats, and keep the Cashmere mats in the basement. I am thinking of putting black seats in the Cashmere/black interior. Any thoughts on how that will look? My PO must have been really heavy or clipped the mileage, because the driver side seat cushion is pretty much flat, and I have two sets of nice black seats in my basement stock of spare parts.
