Please update us. I am getting Area51 so I’m interested. Also can they do the Bronco emblem?

Will do! I'm in production for 6/28 blend, and I'll probably avoid making any decisions until I have everything at home. Maybe including a variety of swatches of competing Katzkin colors.
What I've done right now is try to assess what the Area51 color really boils down to, find its complementary color, then find what that best corresponds to.
I've looked at a big pile of images and eye-dropped a few color profiles of what I think A51 looks like. Then I took the colors from the Katzkin website. Then I sampled the color from OP's photos on page 1, then I did the same after color-correcting for the phone camera missing on the white balance.
Here's where I am with the prelim color analysis.
Judging from the times I've seen A51 in person, I think my eyes see it being closest to "Sunlight 2".
That makes the complementary color D09367.
Color-correcting tomtouchdowns' photos of Autumn is looking like an extremely close match to what complementary theory suggests.
Note that this all changes depending on lighting, climate, and to some degree atmosphere. I'm in TX, so I'm prioritizing for how it'll look in direct summer sunlight. A51 in Seattle is going to look more like "Factory Light" most of the calendar year, if not even less saturated than that. That may make Katzkin Tan the ideal match in Seattle.

I’m on the fence for these for mine. Not gonna get leather. Would just the vinyl with heat and cool. I don’t believe the leather will hold up that long with the sun on it. But the logo thing is holding me up. They said I could design my own and they could digitize it for the seats but if I can’t get the actual Bronco logo. I’m not getting them. May do a badder lands edition. But then the switches piss me off too. Would put them under the window switches but they don’t match anything then I have 2 dead buttons on the dash still. Seems like a great concept but they don’t have it dialed in yet, not on my ocd level at least. Will probably end up going with the local boat interior guy to redo the stitching to red or redo the seat like the pic. Least I’ll get my damn logo back and have my seats how I want them.
Can you link the seller who did the patch? I’m doing Velocity Blue Katskiz seats with brown trim and the patch would be perfect.I found a vendor on Etsy selling the patches (on hats, actually) and messaged them directly and they agreed to sell me the patches as a separate item!
I may have to look into this. Not bad at all.
Looks great. I really wanted the capability of the Black Diamond, but I was NOT going to put up with MGV seats here in the Valley of the Sun.
So... these have AC built into the seats???

Looks fantastic. I desperately wish FEs had gotten a nice brown interior option. Hard to stomach the cost when I've already got leather and heat.
Does anyone know - if you have factory heat can you retain that, continue to use the factory button for heat, but still add cooling?

How did you get the Bronco Patches on the covers? Was this the way they were ordered? Or, did you buy them separately and have them sewn in?

The OP described how that happened on page 2 (if you were just skimming and missed it). He messaged a guy on Etsy who was selling those leatherettes on ballcaps and bought the patches separately, then had the upholstery installers stitch them on during installation. Chose the Katzkin color that best matched the patches.
YMMV on whether that may work for you - some installers won't put trademarked logos on aftermarket upgrade work like this.

Weird I’m literally swapping the bronco I purchased in February with ADM for the exact same bronco minus the seats that I reserved early specifically because my current bronco has leather and I want the MGV lol. We should have just swapped seats.

Did I understand the one post that Katzkins can put in a cooled seat if you don't have them? My Badlands will have the leather heated, but cooled was not an option. Thanks.
