Looks like I'm going to get the BC Broncos Soft top for my Black / Parchment Bronco. I am going with the non-tinted window and would like to get opinions on the color of the soft top. Right now, I'm leaning towards Birch (apparently very close to Parchment), Sand, Hemp Beige, Taupe, and Black. Welcome your thoughts. Thank you.

I think they all look good with a black bronco, but I don’t think the birch is close enough to parchment to be correct in this instance.
It would look fantastic with the exterior, but I think it’s wrong for the interior. Either have to get them extremely close, or pretty far apart for them to look right in my eyes.
So, unlike most times, I vote black.

Not one of your choices, but I think I'd go with Charcoal. Agree with DirtDonk about not trying to match the Parchment. Charcoal will give you just a bit of contrast to the black body paint.

Will they send you samples so you can compare the actual fabric to your seats?

Yes they will.
I agonized over this for a few years as none of the colors are a direct match to seemingly anything.

I eventually went with artic white. Glad I did as it is closest to the original top color and has aged fine.

I like the contrast of the different color top. In this case I vote for the "birch" option.

Black is the safe choice for sure. Birch wasn't on my list but the guy at BC said it matched Parchment. Almost matching doesn't count as I'm going to order samples. Never even thought about that so thank you!

@scoop @Soylent, I added Charcoal to the list!

I went with black but will admit its the safe choice. If you get a sample of Birch and it is really close to the parchment then go that way.

It's official, I'm on the build list for a BC top. Looking like the end of the year which is fine. In the meantime, I ordered samples and will need to choose in the next 3-4 weeks. Apparently Black is the most popular color, not just on this post but what people end up ordering. Very nice company/people to work with. I'm excited!

I have 2 complete top covers from BC for my bronco.
Black with clear windows and Buckskin Tan with tinted windows.

Changed my vote to charcoal. I plan to paint my Bronco black and am going with a gray softop. Your Bronco looks great--hopefully mine will be nearly as nice when completed.

I received the samples. Birch is pretty close to my Toms Parchment Seats.

Birch looks good, I like it. FWIW, Wimbledon white (stock hardtop) is not exactly the same shade as the parchment seats either.
