Default 71 seat color?

Was there more than one shade of saddle used in 71s? My Corvette by the numbers book only shows 2 trim codes one for saddle leather and the other for saddle vinyl. Some of the parts catalogs list a light saddle and a dark saddle for 70-72, so were both availabe or isthe catalog wrong?

The 'saddle' color that is code 417 was simply called Saddle...however, it is Dark Saddle to the vendors in my experience.

My '71 has code 417 and it is dark saddle. It is not tooooo dark. Most of the larger vendors will send you a small sample of the material if you ask them. That way you can verify color before you order.
