Help me pick the color of my katzkins

I am so sorry to create a useless thread like this, but I need a little bit of help. I spoke to a local installer, finalized the price, and have to just pull the trigger on the color scheme before he orders it. I am getting heat pads too, so pretty pumped for a nice upgrade. So confused!

I always wanted red/coffee/dark brown/cinnamon leather interior. Katzkin offers one that might fit the bill (see first link below), but I am not sure if it will go in the SR5 grey/black interior. There is nothing in the inside of my truck that is remotely related to a cinnamon color, so I am afraid it will look ugly. I also configured two other safe choices - black/grey and grey/black (2nd and 3rd links).

Can you guys please help me decide????

Dark brown / cinammon:

I like the Dark brown / cinammon but i also think that it would look best with a white or black exterior color, for silver the grey/black might be the way to go.

I'm a big fan of brown in general and I like that brown a lot but I don't know if it will go with the rest of the interior. Usually dark brown interior vehicles are trimmed with a brown dash and door to match. The seats will look off I think. Maybe if you had the tan interior... And it might look great with grey, but I'd be afraid to test it.

I like the grey ones and the black ones a lot too, but I'd have to recommend grey because leather gets hot enough as it is without being black leather.

If you google image search "brown leather grey interior" (or dash or seats instead of leather, whatever)

There are a lot of other cars with the combo. I think it looks alright (although they all seem to have lighter brown) but then the ones next to them with all grey or all brown seem to look better/cleaner to me.

Grand Cherokee


Looks black instead of grey, but in the lighting you can get a pretty good idea. Especially since it's a similar style to the 4runner.

I saw that too Matt! That's the exact same photo that gave me some hope that the brown interior might work. So are you saying the dark brown might work, but I should just go full one-tone instead of trying to balance it with a bit of the grey?

check these out:






I can get Katzkin to do the same as the above like so - wondering if the grey on the outside will help blend the brown in with the interior:

No I wasn't actually saying that, but you may be right lol. Do they have a charcoal or graphite?? The ones in the picture you posted look like they have more of a black or charcoal than the grey you linked to. It seems like one of those might make the transition easier since the brown is so dark.
