Default 58 Charcoal Interior Question

My 58 project will have a charcoal interior. My assumption is that the painted parts, gauge cluster, center section, speaker grill, etc should be black. Is that correct? I ask because I have never seen a charcoal interior.

What does the '58-'60 judging guide say?

Tech Info Manual is not at all clear to me. That is why I asked the question. It says top storage well is charcoal paint. All other areas are charcoal vinyl.

I had an unrestored Charcoal '58. Seems to me it was all Charcoal. Hard to tell from the pics but even the steering wheel was Charcoal.
