Default Interior Paint Color question!

Hello everybody,
I own a 1971 War Bonnet Yellow with dark saddle interior. I need to fix some paint chips on my steering column that factory matches my dark saddle interior. I cant just cant find any touch up paint for the steering colums in "dark saddle". For example at "Top Flight Automotive" I could only find "1975 medium saddle touch up paint", but no touch up paint as for the 1971 "dark saddle" interior color. I do not need it to dye vinyl or plastic, I need the touch up paint to fix nicks on the top of my steering colums and steering wheel coupler. I apreciate any help to locate the correct color touch up for my steering column.
Cheers, Alex

The dye sold by Top Flight is just lacquer based paint. With proper prep it will turn out great
