Default Gonna buy a Hump Hugger, but which color???

My interior is White, but I am afraid that if I buy a Hump Hugger in White it won't match the White of my interior. Has anyone bought a White one and did it come close because it's really not pure white at all. It has some beige-iness to it.

Only black would go with the shifter, cd and tach.

White won't match anything.

Carpet looks black, if it is then go with a black one. Otherwise, I'd try to match the carpet.

I think you're better off with black as well. Mine's supposedly dark ivy gold, but it doesn't match the rest of my dark ivy gold interior. It's lighter, but not plain ivy gold light. I'd say medium ivy gold, which never existed. Doesn't look bad, but it's not hard to see it's not a match.

that's the problem withe colored interiors, you have to do it all at once and hopefully from the same manufacturer if you want all the dyes to match. You can take your chances with the white hump hugger, but if not the black one will look good.

If you have a local mustang parts store around you call and ask if they have a white one that you can come in and take a look at. Otherwise take your chances with a white one or get a black one.

You are all right. Black is the safest. White is soooooooo difficult to match. I was hoping someone would say "yeah I bought a white one and it was dead-on", but I knew I was dreaming.
Thanks guys.
