Would 4th gen charcoal gray seats look out of place in a totally black interior?

I have a chance to complete my interior restoration with a nice set of gray 4th gen cloths. I am in the midst of buying a black rug, black headliner, black sail panels, black seatbelts, and black visors. I already have black plastic interior pieces and I have black floor mats with the gray firebird screaming chicken logo. Now would a set of 4th gen gray cloth seats look out of place? If so..what should I do to make them look right in my interior? I can also get a set of black cloth seats...from an '88(rears) and an '86 (fronts). The black fronts have a small rip on the drivers seat. What set would look the best? Would the gray look wierd? Let me know. Thanks.

James

I have Grey leather seats from a 97 transam in my 89 Iroc, they don't look bad and are really comfortable. the best thing was that I picked up all four for $100 so I wasn't to worried about the color. But I think they look nice.

Do you think that I should just get the black seatbelts, black rug, and get the headliner gray to match the seats? My door panels have gray and black...so it shouldnt look that bad. Otherwise everything else in my car is black. I wanted to have a red on black TA. But I guess I can settle for a red on black/gray combo. Do you think I should stay all black and then just put the gray seats in...or should I have the headliner and side panels along with my gray and black floormats to match. Maybe it wont look too out of place then. Let me know.
