Wanting some opinions of possible interior choices (POLL)

Here's my dilemma.

I REALLY (like "a LOT REALLY") want the GTO logo on the seats. I know some people who can do the custom embroidery on the seats (using silver and copper thread). In the right light, the car sorta looks like fresh, new copper. When I had the seat covers done, I wasn't too crazy about them. After the custom embroidery, it looked SO awesome.

So, that's going to happen. Problem is, if that sort of embroidery is done on an orange seat back, it's going to get lost. I really like the "GTO" on the seat. In my head, it has to be done on a black or super dark charcoal seat back. If I had the embroidery done in black, or a darker color (like what was done on the stock red and blue GTO seats), if I did an orange seat back with black "GTO", it would probably look pretty good too. Problem is, I I want the silver / copper embroidery more than the orange seats. I still want orange on the seats, but no so much it draws away from the other custom touches I'm in the process of figuring out how to make.

It doesn't help that I don't care for the way the orange Monaro seats look inside of the car. I love the way Abs's look in blue. If that would have been a option from the factory, I don't know how ANYONE could have NOT bought these cars back in the day. The interior (minus the steering wheel) was so beautiful, that would have sold these cars in droves!!!

I was hoping this thread could solve a dilemma that I've been mulling over for a while now. I'm probably not doing the piping, as I can see, the stitching will be visually acute enough, to be seen. I want some orange leather, but not so much it detracts away from the other accents I'm going to make.
