Default T-Top headliner

Hello all -

I've got a question regarding color matching t-top headliners on a 1977 coupe. I've order a passenger side headliner from Zip Corvette in white, however, when it arrived, the color wasn't anything close to what was in the car already. Looking at other online vendors, the "white" color appears to be similar or identical to the one from Zip. Please see pic. Any idea where I can find one that is the correct shade of white?

TIA!

Dye it to match.

Long story short, we are looking to replace the headliner for a very nice young man whose t-top we ran over accidentally. The top itself is fine, however, the headliner is damaged beyond repair. Having consulted with numerous manufacturers, it appears that all of them offer the same "white" as I show above pic (left). As mentioned by 4-vettes, dying may be our only option. Any suggestions on color matching or the process to dye?

Assuming something like this?
