Interior Color code TS (Linen or Pearl, or?)
Can anyone help me figure out what color interior I have? The code says TS. I always thought it was linen but want to know for sure; I plan to restore the seats. I'm thinking that it could also be "pearl" instead of linen

968's never offered linen... according to PET anyway... I've been searching for 968 door panels in full linen to go w/100% completely linen dash for years.... never seen anything closer than light grey on the door panels & have never seen any light colors for the top of the dash either, unfortunately... doesn't make much sense, but, there you go... it's a Porsche...

I got in leather swatch samples from leatherseats.com and was hopeful that either their "Ceramic White", "Bone", or "Ecru White" would be close matches. Unfortuneately, not the case. While not really darker than any of the above, my car does have a SLIGHTLY grey-er hue.
In some light , the interior looks creamy colored or even a very light tan, sometimes white, and in other light it looks very light gray.
In hours of websearching last night, I've ruled out cashmere grey and probably linen. So, "Light Grey" is still a possibility. Only, I've seen cars with a lighter grey and mine is much lighter. I have a period brochure coming in the mail, maybe that will be of help.

I did a long search the other night, and I never came across any 968 seats in linen. Moreover, it appears that the same color name can have different codes for different years. Try Worldupholstery.com. check out their color samples. That might help.

here's an idea. Go to the site above. They will send you a leather sample for free. Check the colors that best match what you think you have. Once you have them, you can make a direct comparo. What you do from there is up to you.

I got my samples from leatherseats.com the other day. Out of the 5 they sent, I thought 3 looked really close when I opened the package. I thought one would definitely be close enough, if not a perfect match. Of course, when I took them out to the car, I saw that none were. I certainly never thought this would be so difficult.
