Ordered a 2010 EL Ingot Silver with strong interior. Want to get some heavy duty rubber floor mats so they are ready to go when I take delivery. Need help choosing what color of floor mats to get (as I haven't seen any good pictures of stone and haven't seen it in person).
I have the camel interior and I put black in there to see how I liked it. I didn't. Too much of a contrast. I put tan that is little bit darker than camel, but it matches well. Weathertech liner for the back and third row. Covers 95% of the carpet. I got the Kraco universal rubber all weather mats for the front. Works for me.

black is a universal color. it goes with almost everything.
Black would be fine, but I have black rubber mats in one of my cars, and if you get in with muddy feet, the light colored mud looks pretty bad. I vote camel, or whatever other color matches the interior but maybe goes a shade or two darker.
In the long haul, it really doesn't matter. I usually think too hard about stuff like this, only to ignore it for the next 5 years if the mats do their basic job of protecting the carpet.

I agree. Take a black towel and put it in there and see if you like it. In the end, black is easier to hide stains. My 07 Expy had all black interior. I thought man, its hard to keep lint, etc off the carpet- I wish I had a diff. color. I then got an 08 with Camel and I thought man, every speck of dirt shows up on this carpet, I wish I had black back!

As a related note, does anyone have any good pictures of a stone interior? It sounds like a gray carpet with a tan/grey leather. I chose it after having black because the light colors show less wear on the leather. I saw a couple used with black interior on the lot and the leather looked 10 years old, even though it was just 1 or 2.
Definately looks kind of light tan in those pictures. Any one have some good pictures with a stone interior of the variety of textures in the vehicle and different colors, floor, inner seats, outer seats, dash, sills, etcetera?
