Seat color ideas?

I picked up some ratty Turbo II seats for my first gen that are going to get reupholstered while I'm doing the engine. The car is the dark grey (Tornado Silver) with black interior.

I'm pretty set on microsuede, it feels better than cloth. No leather or vinyl because of the Texas summer. And because of that, I don't want black or other dark colors.

A friend of mine has a 350Z like this:

I like the orange/tan and was thinking of a tan color but it looks a lot better in leather than microsuede.

Then I saw this FD online:

Even though I don't like two tones, this works (maybe cause it's an FD).

Opinions? Other color options?

My car when it was in one piece:
Interior
Exterior

I just like the pattern. If I wasn't going with bucket seats, I'd do something like this in leather.

That's pretty cool, kind of like an old Citroen.
