Default weathertech floor liner question

I am considering putting weather tech floor liners in my car for the upcoming winter season. I am not sure what color floor liner to push. I have a alabaster interior with dark grey leather dash and window liner. The obvious choice would probably be to by the tan liners but i have the feeling they would not match well with the interior.

What do you guys think about the grey or black liners as an option.

Thank you in advance.

Black will look great -- these days, most cars with ivory interiors actually have black carpets, to hide dirt a little better.

Grey will clash horribly.

I have light grey ones that perfectly match my light grey interior. I can't imagine them looking good in a different color interior. I would go with the black ones if they don't have your exact color.

I would strongly suggest looking at these before you buy. In my experience they are made from a pretty thin material and the edges seem to lose their elasticity over time, making for an unsightly appearance.

I struggled with this subject last winter and ended up getting a set of genuine Lexus floor mats which worked great.

Black liners would be ok plus they will protect your carpet. I have a set (not Weathertech) I used during the winter to protect my carpet.

I have a parchement interior (red exterior) and bought a set of Tan Weathertechs. I think they look fine and people have complemented them. I also have a set of Lexus Winter Mats (Black) that came with the car and in my opinion they look terrible and generic. To me the black looks cheap and industrial.
