I am restoring a 69 that is a light blue on the exterior,parchment vinyl top,parchment bucket seats,door pnls,sail pnl. My question is,what colors would the factory,or what colors would you guys think look good on these following parts.I have seen parchment and black,and have not cared for it.
-Carpet either blue or blk
-Console is dark blue
-Kick pnls are blk
-Dash color?
-Dash Pad?
-Headliner?
-Dash bezel?
Is there to much contrast with lite blue exterior,parchment seats,and dark blue console,headliner,dash,carpet,etc. Does anyone have some pics of parchment and dark blue parts. Any help would be appreciated.Thankyou

Not sure I understand the question. Are you keeping the seats Parchment but want to change some of the other interior colors from Parchment or black to something else? What Donny listed are factory colors with Parchment interior EXCEPT headliner is Parchment, not black. I wouldn't recommend straying from factory colors but that's up to you.

Why not post pics.

Maybe there are some clues that we can gather from the picture.

Yep my '69 Malibu has a Parchment interior, looks like all original with Parchment headliner.

On the 69 Chevelles, a parchment interior cme with black trim. That means the dash pad, top of dash (painted), kick panels, carpet, console, seat belts and a few small parts. But, if you want something different and originality is not a concern, you could consider either a dark blue or a tan to replace all the black. If you went with tan, the dash pad and top of dash would have to be a darker tan to reduce glare. Keep in mind that the seat belts would also be black unless you decided to replace those also.
Hope this helps,
