Question Is this Classic Grey?

I'm looking to update my interior to the plush leather seats (non-perforated) and a color change too. Is this Classic Grey?

Sure looks like classic ......to me One of my favorite colors not too dark not too light ..well maybe the carpet is .... so I favor black floor mats ...But the very brown 1980 ......is of course very brown inside as well .

Doesn't the leather seem to have a bit of green in it as well compared to the carpet?

This is NOT classic grey!!! Classic grey has a hint of red in it and was not available at the time non-airbag cars were built for the US. Classic grey was first introduced in '91.

This is either one of the following:

1. the older, more greenish grey that was available from '86 to '88.
2. Slate grey special leather that was available in '89 and '90.

Since the car shown has a digital dash, I vote for slate grey - a quite rare color.

Slate gray/classic gray/something that someone has sprayed on the leather...

I just love gray interiors! I redid my carpets and had all my leather retanned/ replaced a couple years ago at a cost of $3100....If I had to do it over, I'd for sure go for gray colors!

N!

a teacher of mine in high school was colorblind. We could always tell when his wife was mad at him, somehow.
