Gray interiors, the definitive explanation

Fluid, actually my interior is Rubicon gray. The floor mats pictured (yellow Porsche embroidery) match perfect, but when I bought some new mats recently, they are also thin and cheap and don't match well. Basically like thin house carpet. I think maybe replacements only come in classic gray, which would explain it.
Also, some trivia..."rubicund" means having a reddish/ruddish tint. I assume it's related to the word rubicon (is that German?). Anyways, I find rubicon gray to be slightly purplish.

Wasn't Rubicon the river which that Ceasar had to cross as a point of no return (declaring a war)? Boy, my history is hazy at this point.

Peter, that's what I have as well.
BTW, where did your mats come from? I need a pair.

Nile13,
Floormats are authentic Porsche pieces from a dealership. $125 for all four pieces if I remember correctly. Comes with the clamps to keep the front ones in place. I think you can get them cheaper online, but a couple of places I checked didn't have the color I wanted. At the time, the dealership had a set in stock.
Thanks,
Peter

My intereior is Midnight Blue, Marble Gray. Attached is photo of original blue wheel, and just replaced with CF/Metropole Blue 3 point wheel (they don't make the 3 point wheel in Midnight Blue per Gert Carnewal) Color difference in photos is due to one with flash, one without.

Now I am confused because what I have always assumed to be classic gray has a very discernable red- purple undertone. I have not seen rubicon gray for comparison though.

This is a bit OT, but since a few inquired about mats I took a snapshot this morning. The color of the new mat looks a bit purple in the photo, but isn't in reality.
Main pupose for posting is the noticable difference in thickness. I'm looking elsewhere (i.e. Strasse as suggested by Pete) before using the new mats.
