Give them your interior color code, eh?

Consider going with black mats. The contrast really livens up the interior.

Grey mats with a grey interior is IMHO way too much grey, kinda drab. Any contrasting color is better.

The grey mats will get dirty very easy, I would go with the black also.

not to disparage graphite grey? ( as I've had it before..lol ) but its hard to liven it up (?!) since it looks like material that could line the inside of a relatively inexpensive casket lol.

i kid.

I also have graphite and not a fan. Went with Lloyd’s in a dark grey (but not black). My interior doesn’t bother me as much now....so it worked. I can send some pictures and look up the exact color if you’re interested. I’m with Carlo in trying to add some contrast. They all-graphite was just too much.

I have always liked gray interiors, light enough to run cooler and don't show dirt/leaves as much darker tints. How many times have you just vaccuumed your car, pulled into the garage, looked down only to see footprints all over your black mats? Me? Every time I vaccuum.

i have OEM black mats in mine and will replace with OEM graphite. I have had Lloyds mats in several other cars and just don't get their appeal. They always look "aftermarket" and never match the carpet, even their expensive ones. As a caveat though I always thought that mats should just "exist" and not be a decorator item.
