Default Interior color

I need a interior picture of a 72 with dark saddle. When I look at the color charts my interior looks like 73 saddle. I had bought a new arm rest for the console when I first got the car and I ordered the light saddle. I sent it back and got the 72 dark saddle and it was good.

I am ordering a new dash pad and leather seat covers so I dont want to order the wrong color. In the color chart the 72 dark saddle looks way to dark.

did you look at the body plate in the engine compartment on the cowl for the trim code? There is only one saddle color in 72, 417 is vinyl and 421 is leather.

Well then I would it would be the dark saddle. When I look at a color chart that the vendors have on their web sites the 72 dark saddle looks too dark. I ordered the dark saddle carpet in March but have not installed it yet. I need a dash pad and the left windshield side post molding and hope they match.
