I like the 94-Graphite, as it matches the console and dash, but contrasts with the carpet.

if you pull up a corner of the carpet, you'll find it was darker when it was new.

all three of those work, i think the Charcoal is probably closest to the stock color

Graphite Touring. None will ever match the OE, so go with something darker. Plus it will be in the footwells, which is an OK area for some contrast...

So instead of spending $83.00 on aftermarket Carpets ..I decided to Dye my Original OEM faded mats with RIT Liquid Dye in Charcoal Grey ...REALLY pleased how they came out ! Only cost me $3.68 cents for brand new looking carpets ....Cant wait to install them after they dry ...Perfect Contrast i was going for !

What did you do to freshen up the RX-7 emblem on the carpets?

They look real nice and a darker color on the floor will help hide the dirt better.
