I have an 06 mustang in Legend lime, it has a tan leather interior.  Not sure the exact color name.  I would be happy to take some pics if you want to see.  
I know legend lime derived from lime gold but not sure how close it is to what you are painting.

Terry,
Pictures of your interior would be great.

Here is a pic of the fender. The colors are very close.

Just me but I'd avoid white on the seats - too hard to keep clean.  I also don't think that you'd want more than 2 colors in there - it looks busy and cobbled together (to me). 

I think the black carpet and black dash pad would look out of place in any of the alternatives you list.  What about a black carpet, seats, dash pad and door inserts, with either lime gold, parchment or saddle for the metal on the dash and doors?  Alternatively, I think that the saddle and lime gold would work well together (but without the black).

Do you have an upholstery shop nearby?  They might be able to loan you some swatches that you can use to help you see the colors better.

You should also know that I have horrible color sense.

 
I was thinking the same about it being busy.  For me I think the dash would look nice matching up with the doors.  As for the carpet it might be okay black.   You should be able to find interior pictures online with a google search.

yup, plus lite tan seats is ok in the seats and vinyl door oanels and looks elegant . . dark tan would look out of place and it would overwhelm the lite exterior color.

 

PLEASE, OH PLEASE, DO NOT use exterior gloss paint on the interior of your doors and quarters.  I see that done so often and it shouts I AM WRONG !!!!!   FIX ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  THE BODY SHOP RAN OUT OF MASKING TAPE !!!!!!!!

When I am looking at Mustangs to buy, and I see that stuff, I go on to the next one because it is so much trouble to remove it.

Now, it is YOUR CAR... etc...

Yes, but at least it didn't run out of paint.

hey bolted to floor . . if you want, they can paint the interior parts with the same base they use on the exterior then go over it with a matte finish if you don't want it shiny . . also, if you use green vinyl, i would get it from distinctive not tmi . . most tmi Colors suck BAD . . the exterior paint will not match exactly so you can get paint to match the vinyl if you want too.

If you need new seat foam buy it from NPD and get AMERICAN CUSTOM CUSHIONS brand.

i have orig nos pieces of colored interior amd the color varies a bit from dye lot to dye lot . . same thing with material today . . distinctive has the best colors by far . . tmi's colors are drab and lifeless, but tmi has the best sewing . . distinctive used to and they are still decent but tmi is more consistent, so in show stuff, i send distinctive vinyl or orig vinyl to tmi and have them sew the covers.

also, the round binding that distinctive uses is larger than the orig and tmi uses the orig size which i prefer but since the color is the most obvious thing one notices, i would use the distinctive vinyl irregardless.

i also paint the kick panels with the same paint i use on the door frames so they match perfectly . . these are a few tips on how to have a killer matching interior and win shows.

You know, winning shows hasn't really crossed my mind. All I ever wanted was a car I could bang second gear in and go down the road. I think it will be nice when he gets done with the paint and trim. I will have to be careful as I complete the assemble.

well if you didn't want it nice i doubt you would be going thru this effort . . it will cost you the same if you buy distinctive seat covers . . it will cost aroiund 150.00 for the material from distinctive if you buy it and give it to tmi to sew up.

the kick panels are maybe $25.00 to paint if you have your painter do it .

if you paint the door frames green buy the 65 - 66 panels and kick panel carpet kit and kick panel stainless trim if you want it to lok like the photos i posted.
