Interior color

I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions on what color interior would look good with a Brilliant Silver Metallic exterior paint. I currently have the 2 tone blue silver paint scheme, and I was thinking the current blue interior would look a little out of place.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Grey would be my first choice, black would be my second.

black is what i would do. it goes with everything so if you change your mind again down the road it should still look good

The right blue might be sharp too, especially if you tied it in with a pinstripe on the outside.

Thanks for the input.
@bake74: Grey is kinda the way I'm leaning.
I like the thought of black but, I kind of wondered if the replacement panels would look good black, being as that's the color they come in (kinda like I got cheap and took the easy way out), if that makes any sense.
But before I rule black all the way out, are you guys talking all black, or silver on the sheet metal and black on the panels?
@PromiseKeeper: I kind of like the way that sounds, but I'm gonna do all the work myself and want to keep it simple. I do a lot of mountain driving and just plain playing with my truck so I want to be able to match the quality of work in case I have a mishap.

With either grey or black, I would throw some silver or similar color here and there, not too much, just enough to bring the base color out. Yea, blacking it out completely would look "cheap" to me also.

Some food for thought... I have two vehicles that I have pinstripes on and both were done over 5 years ago. Vehicle #1 was done by a guy who paints on the stripes and does all the freehand stuff. After a year or two, it all started to come off, crack, and look bad. I was really disappointed. Yes, it would have been tough to duplicate if I needed to.
Vehicle #2 was done at the dealer I bought if from, was the tape type stripes and cost me a whopping $20. Today, it still looks just like it did when they were put on. It looks better than the painted ones ever did and for another $20 I could have it all done over again! I can tell you which way I would go.... and I do love my pinstripes! I think they finish off a vehicle and personalizes it a bit.

I think I'd go with dark grey or black, and maybe add a little trim to match or contrast the paint.

That was one of the colors I was considering so it would match the interior that I was going to use.

I'm partial to the light tan color that came in some of these trucks.

Are those Blazer seats? That console looks a lot like the one I had in my '87 K5.
Very nice.
