Correct Interior Color '77 Red 72C

I was considering buying new door panels for my Red/Red '77 (code 72C) and I was wondering if anyone new the correct color.
I've seen 68-72 Red code 30 and 76 Firethorn code 34.
Any suggestions on vendors would be appreciated.

So, any idea if it's the first or the second one?

Regardless of upholstery material (cloth or leather), the door panels and other red surfaces in the car would be the same color. Check Eckler's catalogue; he has a color chart. You shouldn't have any trouble getting correct red door panels for your '77.

If you have the choice you should do all leather. Mmm...leather.

Correct '77 Red

72C Red Cloth /722 Red Leather are the correct trim codes for what color/material came on your car.
The numbers you mention (68-72 Red code 30 and 76 Firethorn code 34) match the code numbers for ordering replacement pieces from "Corvette America".
I don't know if other vendors use the same codes, but the correct code for your car from "Corvette America" is "77-81 Red - Code #24".
Everything I have ordered from them so far have matched perfectly.
