New seats - a wonderfull thing, but they don't match!

I got my seats the other day - '02 Trans Am (18,000 mile car!!!)Leather, Neutral Tan, loaded (the side bolsters are SO cool - they squish your kidneys!!) and they are really nice. Got them from an Ebay seller - goes by ls1_z28 - nice, straight-forward seller and the packing was great - so yeah, this is a plug to watch her stuff, good seller.

My problem is they don't match the Beechwood at all really. I mean, it's not as bad as it they were green or something, but the friggin beechwood is so brown, or orangy in tint and these are almost a gray-tan color.

What other shades of tan were made in 82-92 camaros? What about the gray interiors, would they maybe go with these seats? Now I'm actually contemplating slowly changing the entire interior over color-wise, because the seats are so nice.

I should have probably gone for Ebony seats - would match all the black trim in the car. I think I might just see about making a trade work on the classified boards. What a bummer. Options anyone????
