I'm debating on keeping the Duster its original green color when I (eventually, no big rush) get it repainted. If I end up with that, I really do NOT want a brown interior, but I'm at a loss as to what other available colors would go well with the green exterior. I figured black would go good with anything, but I'm thinking in this case maybe not. Any opinions on which interior colors you guys like for a green exterior?

Black is easier to match, and often easier to find than any other color. For example, I would have had to wait a few weeks to get red seatbelts to match the interior in my Valiant, while black belts were on the shelf, ready to ship.

I like the idea of using black, though I don't know if I want to go all black for an interior. I thought of sticking with the dark red accents that I originally planned, but I'm not sure sure that's a good idea with the green exterior. I do plan on blacking out the exterior trim though, so maybe it could work...

Green (duh... :lol:)
White
Tan
Parchment (off-white)

I hate black interiors. Too dark, too hot.

I certainly wouldn't go ALL black, but you will find it easier to get upholstery, belts, etc, in blacks and shades of grey.

Tan is ok, as long as it isn't that nasty yellowish shade Chrysler used for a while.

White? In a car that's actually used? :lol:
