    Need opinions on center color

    Ok, as some of you know I currently have a plaid center on one of my sport seats. I just picked up some heated very seats and I am in the process of reupholstering them now. I finished the bolsters, but I am unsure what color to do the inserts. I have found out because of my machine and the plaid material is not heavy enough, the straight stitches just don't look right. So I'd like some opinions on different colors for the insert.
    These seats will be stitched to look identical to vert/m3 seats. They are going in a red e30, slammed on bbs style wheels, with a tan interior.


    On to the pictures.

    The seat as it sits now.


    Brown Doubble French top stich.



    On to the colors:

    This is a deep realistic red, very grainy.


    This is the same beige that the bolsters are done in.


    This is almost like a dark caramel.



    This is black.

      Before reading the post I was thinking some sort of cool fabric like tan plaid. Tan center is the only other color that works imo. Nice job on the stiching! :up:

          Yea, I kind of agree with you guys. I was just wondering if maybe there was something I was missing, I'm still trying to figure out what colors I want to go with.

                  I'd go with a darker, caramel brown. Very classy!
