Default 82....what color pod with brown dash?

I have an 82 that has the brown/tan interior. Seats etc are tan. Headliner, dash, console, & door armrests are brown. What color is pod supposed to be with brown LEATHER dash? Most I see online are black but I have seen some in matching brown. Could it just be that that many people have put covers on them, mine looks original but I have not really gotten into it. I will when I put my new overlay on. I just want to have it match correctly. I am dying the coverlay brown so I can do the pod at the same time IF it is supposed to be brown.

My '81 pod is black and does not match the brown dash. However I am slowly turning all the brown to black. It has the original speedo, however I can't gaurantee the pod was never changed out. All the trim around the shifter up to the vents is black as well.

I have an '80 with the same color scheme with the leather dash. My pod is black.

I just had the pod off, but need to pull it off again for a dash recover. If I were to put a leather cover on my pod, I think I would probably do the brown. But I don't think it looks bad now.

My '80 has dark brown leather on practically everything - with the exceptions of steering wheel, gear shift, consol trim and pod being black.

My 82 Weissach was brown vinyl and the dash brown leather. Is now Brown leather.
My 82 Jubilee is black vinyl and the dash burgundy leather.
My 82 5 speed is black vinyl and the dash brown leather.
My 83 Euro has a brown vinyl pod and brown vinyl dash.

I have a perfect brown vinyl pod for sale at $200 + shipping.

Great so my pod is probably stock, especially with an 85mph speedo. I just wanted to double check thatall pods do not match the dash. I knw the blue and green does but brown I have seen both ways.

Ditto.

Garth are you sure it is not "RoseWood" v/s "Copper Brown"?
