Let them know what model/year car you have and what color/feature you are looking for in the mat.

Snide72,
"Ain't necessarily so..." My 2009 XKR Portfolio interior is 2-tone, Ivory and Slate. Carpet is Ivory and the factory logo mats are Slate bound in Ivory leather. Interior and mats are in the photo below.
Ivory mats would have been a disaster; dark mats are much more practical. Although darker than Ivory, Camel mats also aren't very practical. I see no reason why someone with Camel carpet can't use a black or brown mat that picks up either the black trim or brown wood trim, if so equipped. Just my

Allow me to elaborate ...
I didn't mean it's completely cut & dried. Personal preference should always control. And your black mats, Stuart, sound great given your Jag's interior. A solid carmel interior is so gorgeous that I'd be worried black mats might detract from the otherwise beautiful look. If, on the other hand, the carmel interior has black carpet or two-tone carmel and black door panels, then I think black mats would look great. My '09 XK Coupe is Vapour Grey with a two-tone Ivory & Slate Blue interior. Since the carpet is Slate Blue, I have Slate Blue mats. However, I live in Ohio and the Jag is my daily driver, so I have plain Grey "winter" cheapo mats that I use from Nov. 15 to Mar 15 to keep the really nasty stuff from getting on my Slate Blue mats. As far as keeping mats, especially light-colored mats clean, I use a good quality carpet shampoo and I spot clean with a brush and a liquid carpet spot remover beforehand on any bad spots. After cleaning them thoroughly, I use my powerful, electric leaf-blower followed by a clean towel to ensure they're 100% dry. Then, before putting them back in the Jag, I spray them with aerosol Scotchgard and let them dry in the sun. In closing, when I think about mixing brown (or carmel) with black, I'm reminded of George Gobel's self-deprecating line to Johnny Carson one night on Johnny's show when Bob Hope and Dean Martin were sitting on the sofa next to George and he felt like he didn't "belong" with them, "Johnny, did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo ... and you were a pair of brown shoes?"

Auto etc mats - home run
Went with the matching ones with brown logo. They are perfect and look incredible. Here are some shots. Sprayed with scotch guard and waiting to put them in for good. They are thicker and have a bit of a dot pattern being so much thicker they won't show dirt near as much and look really rich. Thrilled.
