Default Lloyd Mat Color?

I have Cashmere leather seats, the carpet appears to or have been the same color as the seats.
Does anyone know what current Lloyd mat color matches the original Cashmere color?

If you can find a supplier that will answer their phone I think you can get a sample... I have been trying to get a neon green sample as well as to see if they would do a 4 set of mats in the purple that matches their purple thread that have on their website...

The car in your avatar appears to be Midnight Blue, but your sig indicates Venetian Blue.

Is that correct?

My cashmere interior came with black mats originally. I'll replace them with black at some point. Keeping the cashmere rugs clean would be a nightmare IMHO, certainly in my daily-driver anyway. I park in the garage that has a clean floor, but I can't seem to control how clean the parking places are when I stop someplace. Maybe I need 'car slippers' similar to the house slippers I get to wear when I'm allowed inside. Anyway, the black continues the theme of the black from the rest of the interior hard pieces like dash and door panels.

Randy, I was thinking more Marine blue than midnight or venetian, but I have seen venetian blue look very different depending on lighting conditions...

I have what I call a linen seats/carpets/inner door panels with black dash/console and the remainder of the door panels and armrests. My Lloyds match the linen and are a nightmare to keep clean. I will soon go with black Lloyds up front.

You might try contacting Lloyd's directly. I had the same issue years ago trying to find the right cashmere color for my old GT. They had someone who remembered the old porsche colors and he made a suggestion and sent a couple samples. It came out perfect. Unfortunately the receipt with the color code went with the car when it was sold.

I ordered a Cashmere rear mat for my 91 GT and it was color #533. I recently ordered a Champagne set for an 86 911 and it was color code 564.

My COA says I have a Cashmere interior, but I had a seat bolster repaired and Paul C. said the leather color was Champange or Champagne II.

So, recommend you get samples.

The paint code in the car is Venetian Blue. I had the car touched up last year at Customs and Classic's, a local paint shop. Robert said the stock Venetian Blue was a "bit" lighter than the color on the car.

He did a bit of color work and got a perfect match from the Venetian. Apparently, one of the 3 PO's had the whole car painted.
If its not Venetian, its damned close.
