Trying to decide on an interior color for the 65 convertible. Exterior will be Sunlit Gold.
I wound up with a pile of parchment pony interior parts and am
Trying to figure out if that would work

I am pretty sure Don's Emberglo Girl has parchment interior as I recall.?

It has embergow and a lighter inset color. Might be parchment on the inserts.
I want to see one where the interior is solid parchment

My 68 originally came from the factory sunlit gold with parchment interior.
Before I licenceing it the very first thing I did was ripout the interior and reupholster
it in black .
The car was repainted red, I could never live with sunlit gold.
The black seat covers get really hot in the sun.

My 66 coupe was originally Wimbledon White with the standard parchment interior. The dash pad and carpet was brown, not light, like the rest of the interior. I did not like it, and in 2006 ordered a full black interior to replace it. To me, it looked like oatmeal in a white cereal bowl.
Funny thing, YESTERDAY, my son reclaimed all the parts stored at my house for that car (he still has it, and is getting ready to send it out for paint.) I pulled the parchment seat backs out my crawl space, and gladly bid them farewell, convinced that going with black interior was the better move for that car.

Thanks for those. Is there a Palomino that is darker? Not really digging the solid parchment thing

This is Palomino. Might be better. I guess I could dye the parchment door panels this color.
I have always had black interior in my Mustangs. Trying to step out of my comfort zone. A convertible in TX with black interior can get real uncomfortable in the summer.

This is mine, grown partial to it. It has the wrong kick panels (panel should be parchment with black carpet) from the previous owner who also painted the car black, it was Ivy green from the factory. Almost all original otherwise, dash pad is replaced but was black originally from what I can tell (I've looked at lots of stuff about orig interiors trying to figure out where to go with it). I think I'm going leave the dash, steering column and door panels parchment, strip the interior doors and paint them black, redo the quarter panels in black and make the seats black with parchment pony accents. I have a one-piece TMI headliner in black, but that don't figure with a rag top so much.
I do think parchment looks much better in pony trim with some mixed accents, a bit drab in monotone.

I can't help with pictures cause I can't find any of my interior. It does have parchment on the seats, seat belts, doors, headliner and dash with black carpet to hide any dirt.

I would run the Parchment interior.
You can always change color later if desired.
Keep it simple for now.
You’ll appreciate the “non black” interior.

Seats = SEM Camel
Console/Air conditioner = SEM Palomino (matched original factory console perfectly)
Instrument panel/Glovebox door = SEM Saddle??? Can’t remember…wanted darker, but oh well.
Dash metal = factory 65
Faded palomino interior (2017) next to SEM Camel
