Default What color all weather mats do I go with?

All, have a 2001 ls430 silver with tan interior and I am struggling with what color all weather mats I should go with. Still no lexus rubber mats so I am going aftermarket. Weathertech or the like but I'm not sure if I should go with black or try to find a tan that matches well. Help!!!!

A matching tan mat would be my preference but I think both are workable options - tan would be a matching color and black would provide a decent contrast color.

For winter mats, I've had best luck with black. However, if you live somewhere where they use salt on roads and driveways, the mats will end up being quite white.

Yup, I have a black interior and am currently using the original mats that came with the car (dealer gave me a new set that I only use when snow isn't present). They are coated with salt as of now, but not much you can do since it will likely happen again as soon as you clean them. I would definitely suggest rubber mats over carpeted for extra durability (not to mention rubber ones are much easier to clean).
