Post Help me pick: Black or Grey????

If everyone remembers, I ordered Floormats cause the tan is just too light... so I ordered Graphite but they sent the wrong ones.. so I got the right set and a Stone set sent.

I have both sets now, but need to send one back tommorow.. so I need to decide tonite...

Graphite is black.. Stone looks tooooo light?? What do you think and reason?

black goes with almost anything, and looks pretty good in the pic. the stone is too light and looks a little off with you other colors IMO.

Of the two, definitely graphite (at least it kind of matches). The stone does not look good at all with your interior.

I love the stone interior, that is what I have in my car. I just think the stone floormats do not look good at all up against tan interior.

yeah, definitely the graphite. Stone kind of clashes w/ your wheat. I have stone on my DG, the floor mats get dirty quick and you basically end up with a graphite floormat after some usage anyways. You just get uniformed color from the start.

I.E. Got stone floormats shampoo'd, last week. It rained here in L.A., now i have a huge dark spot in the middle where my foot moves below the pedal area. Good color, but hard to maintain.

Not a bad idea this floor mat thing, was thinking about just flipping them over when it rains, but getting graphite wouldn't look so bad in a stone interior.

FYI, I would highly recommend the Infiniti all weather floormats for those with the lighter interiors. I have a set and they work and fit wonderfully. I just throw them in whenever it is raining or expected to rain and no problems at all with staining my carpeting or mats.

In my opinion, they look good enough to leave in all the time (I have for the past few months).

hey...i just use decent quality generic black rear mats over my factory graphite mats, under where my heal digs into the carpet at the gas pedal. small black square is barely noticeable, and you save wear and tear on nice, expensive factory units.

Thanks for the opinions and all the vote.. Black it is! I will keep the wheat for everyday applications, Ill use the Graphite for bad weather or when I have ranges or any other activity that will get my boots dirty.

Thanks again!

Optional
Good choice, the Graphite matches the top of the dash and all those other graphite accents on the wheat interior.
