Default Interior Color Check

I need to order mats for the car, but I haven't been able to pin point what color the carpet actually is and Llyods has a ton of what seem to be close colors. It's actually a little more tan then the photo shows. Is there a way to figure out the interior colors by VIN or anything? Anybody know what a close Lloyd's color might be?

The interior codes are indecipherable, but Robb Budd can do an exact match if you send him a sample ...

Do a dark brown that matches the dash, would make a nice contrast to the light tan carpet. Plus it wouldn't show dirt nearly as much as light tan.

After looking thru PET for what carpet was available for my car, I'm thinking it's Grey Beige.

+1 - the contrast looks nice and is easier to keep clean IMO

It probably would wear better, but I really don't want to add any more brown to the car. It's really not my first choice for interior color.

It looks like Grey Beige to me, too. What is your interior code?
Mine is AX, and I have Brown vinyl ("leatherette") dash/console with grey beige carpet and seats.

HTH,

What year is it? With the information available so far, I vote for grey beige as well.

It's a 86.5 Garnett Red car. I haven't found a interior code for it yet. Definitely not a smoker, it's a really clean somewhat low mile kind of car. I ordered some grey-beige mats, hopefully they match.
