Default Opinions on mat color for bisque interior?

Our silver pine mica w/bisque leather interior should be here soon (yay!) and I plan to get the WeatherTech cargo liner and floor liners. Between tan, black and gray, the tan seems the most obvious choice for the bisque interior but the couple pics I've found online I wasn't super fond of...maybe it was just the pic? The mat just seemed a lot darker than the car's interior. I'm wondering if the grey or black would blend well enough since the dash is black even with the bisque interior...

Any thoughts (or pics?).

My 2004 has the Tideland Pearl exterior with the bisque cloth interior. I bought the black all-weather rubber mats from a Toyota dealer, they look fine given the black dash and upper door panels.

I have a Super White w/ Bisque Leather interior. I have the black Toyota all weather mats and a black Weathertech cargo liner. I think the black mats go well with the bisque interior.

I wouldn't get grey - I have grey mats in my Explorer, and they started looking dirty after just a year or two.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm deciding between black and tan now...DH is pushing for the tan. Decisions, decisions...

definitely go for the black-- I have Weathetech floor liners front and rear and cargo--they not only will look less dirty, but they also make the interior seem more spacious. The grey and tan are too light not to show normal loose dirt more than black, and it seems to me the lighter colors will show stains over time--which the black, of course, won't show. Btw, is anyone else about to give up on Priuschat because of Odwalla etc?

PS yes, go black instead of grey or tan--no offense to your 4-legged greys

I bought the tan Weather Tech floor liners, and returned them for black with my bisque interior. I'm too compulsive for the lack of exact color match. The bisque is actually quite neutral, and seemed to clash with the warm tone of the tan mats. Like was said earlier, the black blends quite well with the black on the dash and doors.

Good luck!

Became the happy owner of a Touring Pkg 2 w/Leather - Silver Pine Mica - with Bisque interior...BLACK ALL WEATHER MATS are sharp...Love them and they blend well with the black dash and other areas within the vehicle. Good Luck - Have Fun Choosing.

Think I'm leaning toward the black too...though it should tie in even better with a black exterior. Does anyone have pics of the black mats in the bisque interior?

Thanks. J.
