If your label is missing, you could do a search of colors (close to what you think yours are) at any NAPA or automotive paint supplier. My NAPA dealer has several books with sample colors and names/years of cars applicable. For instance my BEAST2 was custom painted with a yellow Viper paint with pearl added. The NAPA dealer's paint book gave me the year that Viper used the color. Also most all GOOD car painters can tell you the color and probably the correct code. My painter did some touch-up work for me and his work perfectly matched the original custom paint job.l
Good luck

There should be three codes for the interior on the RPO sticker.
1) interior color, ie 15I (meduim gray `85)
2) seat color & type, ie 15C (cloth meduim gray `85)
3) seatbelt color, ie 15? (I can't remember the third digit for that)

the sticker for the codes should be under the LR storage bin or the center console lid.

I'm flying semi-blind here, but the Service Parts Identification Label should list the intererior color code near the end of the long options list. Can you list the last five or so codes?

On my RPO label, the paint codes and interior color codes are list along the bottom of the label not with the other service codes.
It would read something like "Base coat/clear coat...xx xx xx xx."
