Default 1982 Interior Color question

What is the difference between "SilverGrey"" and "silvergreen" interiors on 1982 Corvettes?
Anyone have pics of both?

The Silver Gray (also called slate gray) is a light gray color, while the Silver Green is a light green interior, about the same color as the Silver Green exterior color. The two interiors look nothing alike.

Below is the Silver Gray in a Bowling Green 81, which is the same exact interior as the 82 Silver Gray. I may have a sample of the Silver Green around, and I'll post it if I find it.

I had a friend with the silver green; it looks better than you might think and it's definitely a green.

Below are 2 1982 carpet samples. The one on the left is the Silver Gray, and the one on the right is Silver Green. The Silver Green actually looks kind of blueish here, but it may have changed or faded, as the samples are at least 20 years old. Though the color may be off a little, this should give you an idea of the difference between the Silver Gray and Silver Green.

Remember too, that the carpet was darker than the leather and vinyl used on the seats, door panels dash, etc.
