Default doeskin carpet pics

I am trying to find some accurate pictures of a 78-82 with Doeskin color carpet. Some of the pics I find show it dark and I want a lighter color( close to a Cashmere in a C6) so I need to be sure before I go any further. Thanks for your time.

You might contact Alknochinteriors.com and see if they have a sample and/or can confirm a match for you.

Thank you douglass. I guess that is the dark doeskin? I have come up with a code of 7087 for the light and 7037 for the dark. I don't know if that has any meaning for you. I have a call into Full Throttle but I don't think they will send a sample. The hunt continues. Thanks.

Thank you sir. I just need to figure out the light doe from the dark doe. Why a company would produce 2 different colors with the same name mystifies me, but hey, they never asked me to run GM. The other issue I have is this project has none of the gem stuff, so the color on the door post tag is meaningless to me. I am just trying to get a match as close to the C6 cashmere as I can since that is what my color combo will be modeled after. thx.
