However, since the surface color of the trim 1 matches the color of the vehicle interior, there is no problem, but the surface color of the adjacent weather strip 7 is black of rubber cloth. Therefore, when the occupant looks at the window from the interior, the black color of the weather strip 7 becomes annoying and

Since the black background color is not visible, the space inside the room can be perceived as large as it seems. The reason why the entire weather strip 3 is not colored is that the ground color black of the weather strip 3 gives a feeling of tightening the vehicle body when viewed from the outside of the vehicle.

[0007]

As described above, the weather strip of the present invention is mounted adjacent to the trim, but the portion visible from the interior of the vehicle is colored according to the color of the vehicle interior and the trim different from the ground color black. As a result, the interior feels wider than in the case where the conventional weather strip has a black ground color.
