Default Black or Cream Leather?

I've got my Wedgewood Blue 75 (paint code JEL?) with cloth interior, I was looking at buying a used leather interior (luckily I've seen a few from members!) but I was wondering what do you think would go better with the paint color, black or cream leather?

Have you seen either combination before?
Also cananybody confirm that JEL is the paint code for the light blue (Wedgewood?) color?

Thanks again!

Black for me, purely from a practicality point of view!

Practicality?
IE. Looks cleaner without having to actually clean them?

But not as difficult to keep clean as a beige Interior!

TBH, I didn't have a choice of interior when I bought Ed!

Cream for me every time. Loads of other cars have black leather.
Cream looks classy.

Blue is nice though. And if i can find a car with an aubergene leather interior.....ooooooooooooow.

Got to be Black with Wedgewood IMO, unless you can find a set of Blue Personal line Leather.

JEL is the code for early Wedgwood blue cars, later ones are a noticably different shade.

As for interior colour, I love my Neptune Blue, I reckon it compliments the exterior perfectly

Going back to the OP's original question,you have three choices,Ash Grey,Sandstone or even Neptune Blue if you feel more adventurous.

I dare say that the rest of the interior is Sandstone with the paint code,but any of the above will suit.
