Purple

Looks like i could do with getting a sample of Bentley Damson then

[CharlesdeGaulle]

The thread hive-mind has spoken.

Probably a bit too traditional for your taste but there are colours and shades that would easily work with a black exterior.
Out of purple or green I would personally choose the green

Yep ive had a car with ivory leather before and even just colour transfer from jeans is an issue so a light interior was never on the cards

Genuinely have never had this problem with light coloured daily driver interiors, the only dye transfer that I noticed was when Jayemm on Cars drove my Super V8 and left colour transfer on the seat... Maybe my jeans are not expensive enough to do this

If Ivory/Tan is off the cards, then red.

And me.

[craigjm]

Well there certainly appears to be a surprise favourite. I will get some samples. Hopefully by end of next week all the interior stuff will be working and then we only need some small tweaks before it’s drivable for a while.

Have another.

Just saying the purple is a bit Cadbury milk chocolate.
Bentley diamond double stitch as well? If you want a more quilted look ask your upholsterer to double up on the foam scrim or ask for a sample of different thickness so you get what you’re after

No Damson is much darker than the Cadbury colour when you see it for real. I think I’m gonna stick with the ribbed effect they have on the XJS seats. I did originally think diamond on the red but I think it’s a bit overdone these days

I love the Bentley Damson colour and it would be my choice if buying a Bentley GT. It is more burgundy than a cadbury purple.

[craigjm]

Yeah it is a great paint colour too but that’s already been done and it’s Mercedes Obsidian Black. The Damson leather does look good I’m gonna try and get a sample to match it
