I thought Saddle Leather and Guard Green paint on my Mustang was a perfect match

As many have mentioned it depends on the car and the shade.

I'd add that it also depends on how much of the interior is tan.

I've owned BMWs and MX5s with tan seats and they were fine - as the dash and carpets were black

When all I see is tan (as with many of the pics posted on this thread) hurl

I agree all black interiors are dull but all any other colour are (generally) worse

Yeah, but what’s with the ‘passenger can reach over and adjust the driver’s seat’ controls?
I’ve had Aston’s with that feature for many years and many thousands of miles. Never has a passenger leant over and fiddled with them. Why would they? If they did they’d be told to ‘do one’ in no uncertain terms. What an odd world you must inhabit to believe such things are a problem.

In fact it is great as I can adjust the passenger seat. If someone leaves it in the wrong place or someone new gets in the car, I can reach over and set it to a sensible setting. Where memory settings are on the door or seat squab this isn’t possible.

If you want to know the downside, it is that, if they aren’t set to your liking, you have to reach into the car before entering. On cars with the controls on the seat/door, you can do it with the door opening.

However, I never have other people driving my car so it isn’t an issue.

Oh and the DBS is GREAT.

That looks like dye from jeans-should come out with some decent treatment products.

It's either that or pigment loss. Probably the former, as it's not a high rub area.

Tan is an outdated interior colour, looks ok in cars of the previous era but doesn’t really work currently. Maybe in a few years it will be back in.
