Default 76 - 77 two tone interiors?

If I remember correctly the 76 & 77 Vettes had a two tone interior option. My question is this, what items were the second color. For example, if the two tone interior was black/white I think the white parts were the door panels, seats, and I think the dash pad. Is this correct? I need a complete interior for my 74 (totally non-original car) and I'm thinking of going the two tone route. Also my car came with two brand new (still in plastic wrap) door panels but they are 1976 standard panels. I think they will fit a 74 without modification. Is that true?

Thanks

Assembly manual has all the colors and interior options listed, but I'm still looking for a "Rocket Scientist" to decipher what it says. What you said in the original post I think is correct... my daughter has a '77 with two tone interior... white seats, door panels, pillar trim, rear window trim, T-Top panels and trim, I think the upper dash pad was white. Dark Blue items include carpet, seat belts, lower dash pads, steering column, carpet strips on doors. Center armrest and upper dash have been replaced as black and blue respectively, so I am not sure about the original colors. Are you throughly confused now?

Jn76Vette's picture is on the money. Corvette white interiors were never 100% white (i.e., there was never a white carpet available). White items were usually the door panels and seats. All other surfaces were something other than white.

My '77 is smoke gray/white leather and trim. The dash pad is white along the front to the ridge on top and then gray on up to the windshield. Gray carpet and side panel on the trans tunnel.
