Default White WS6, looking to do SUBTLE interior mods, which accent color?

I am looking to put some color inside my car, I've got the subthump ttop storage box that i've re-wrapped in tan suede, some custom speaker pods that I made in the rear seat area also wrapped in the suede, I want to throw a very subtle amount of color, I hate when people go overboard, I am thinking about silver, because I think a RED or BLUE might be over the top. So far I have considered painting the trim piece around the cd player and hvac controls, and thats about it, and also throwing some silver suede and possibly getting a bird or trans am lettering embroidered into my headrest. Any input would be sweet, what color do YOU think?

I would just get some white gauge face overlays and call it a day... Painted interior pieces 9 times out of 10 look like @ss on our cars...

Then I definetly would NOT do silver inserts... If the interior is tan consider a different (darker) shade of tan for the suede insert...

Other than that not much "color" you can tastefully add to a tan interior since it is already full of color (tan)... You can always add darker (charcoal) accents to it though (ebony carpet, mats, etc...).

Check out this thread for some cool ideas that were actually factory optioned:
