What color for interior pieces?

Thinking of getting some interior pieces to make my WS6's interior just a little bit better. Right now, I'm thinking about a new shift boot (and retainer ring), center armrest cover, and maybe e-brake boot and cover. Looking to order from Redline Goods, just not sure what colors to go with... My car is a Sunset Orange Metallic WS6, with a tan/charcoal color interior. Right now I am leaning towards sticking with two-tone pieces, with charcoal being the primary color and tan being the secondary. So it would look similar to this C5's interior...

Except Trans Am boots are 4-pieces, so it would be tan on the sides and charcoal on the front and back.

Then I was thinking about going with orange stitching, but not sure if that would look out of place or not...

Here are some pics of my current interior, for reference:

As you can see, my armrest is pretty faded right now, so a cover should make that look better...

And here is a pic of my car color, which I don't think the orange stitching would match but it might come close enough...

Any input?
 
I like the idea of the new pieces but I wouldn't go with the orange stitching. Even if it matches the exterior, it'll still look out of place in the interior unless you plan to get everything done. Also orange stitching kind clashes with black / tan two tone anyway. That being said, I've always like those cars. Looks awesome in orange!
 
Yeah, I think I'm throwing the orange stitching idea out the window... I may also just go with charcoal pieces all around, with tan stitching. The tan leather may look out of place with the rest of the console being charcoal, but the subtle tan stitching may look alright.

I wish I could just redo a lot of the interior, but I don't have the money for that...

And thanks for the compliment, there's still a lot I want to do with it, but one thing at a time I guess.
