I am currently swapping lighter colored seats,white/light gray with red and black panels over to all black.my previous boat had all black,and it was a skeeter that had the almost exact color scheme as my p4.all black never bother me before,so I doubt it will now.BCB warned me about the cool touch vinyl having a blue hue,so I went with the old vinyl.these new seats I received are sharp,all black,with Zeus black inserts,and red BCB logo.get what you like,its going to be for you.having had skin cancer on my face,and more moles removed than I care to mention,my days of fishing in just shorts are over,so I dont see black seats being an issue.i know looks wise-these new seats are the sharpest BCB seats Ive ever seen.
