So I painted my 68 bronco black, need to order seats, was going to get low back buckets from TMI PRODUCTS. Was thinking saddle color, whats your thoughts? Its a half top thats why I wanted low backs. Any suggestions or pictures would help. Thanks in advance.

Saddle is it for me. I think it goes with most colors and now in the Tucson sun, I've thought of changing my black interior to saddle or brown.

Tan/copper/bronze are a good compliment to black.
A little more pop, red.

I'm really not a fan of white. The other impossible to keep clean color.

I'm still impressed with a SEMA build at the Ford booth 5+ years ago. A Mustang called "bad penny".

Oh, and don't be afraid to ask for color swatch samples. What you see on a computer screen usually doesn't match what you get in person. I am doing a headliner on my truck right now (literally I am waiting for the glue to fully setup at this moment before I try and put it back in). Got a handful of color samples. The one that was low on my list when looking at the computer screen is the one that worked best when I put the swatch against the truck.

The worst they can do is say no. I bet they would rather ship out a few scraps of material and have a happy customer instead of someone not happy.

Back in the day when a car had black paint, a black vinyl or convertible top, and black interior, it was called "triple black." I thought it was boring! Nowdays it's called murdered.?:?

What about some cool colored accent stripes on the paint, and matching inserts in the black seat covers?

Murdered is painted flat black, little different. Maybe a satin black, but not gloss black.

I like buckskin/saddle. Or houndstooth that incorporates silver and white maybe. I always thought the 66 style silver vinyl would look cool against some colors.

Ginger Ranger/Explorer would look great, then maybe a Red Explorer to be different.
