Carpet Colour - Advice needed

[tonyrec]

As you know, my Chimaera has been resprayed Halcyon Atlantis Blue and the interior trim is all Parchment (very light grey/green).

What colour carpet do you think would suit the car, and does anyone have a similar colour scheme could show me a pic. Thanks.

How about a dark blue

Unless you think this will leave it feeling claustrophobic (and what colour is the rest of the interior? - so dark green?) a dark colour, maybe with contrasting piping, is always going to look classy/classic. Anything pale will be a disappointment when you've finished soiling it, won't it?


Ooo-er!

Yes, just cant picture it though.

The factory sent me 2 samples, one was Oatmeal (tan) and this was the original fitment according to the paperwork and handbook etc but its much much lighter than the sample i was sent. It was so different thatfading etc didnt have anything to do with it.
The other colour was a dark Blue, which, if it would go.......would be much better to keep looking nice.

Exactly!

I suppose that i could go for a dark blue and put the original parchment piping around it to blend it in i suppose..hhmmmm

I made a mistake when i had it re carpeted and went a bit lighter.

Now, 6 months further on i dont think that the quality of the carpet or the workmanship justifies the carpet being in my car seeing as the rest of it is now First class.

Hindsight is a marvellous thing.
