Default Interior Color Help - still!

First – THANKS to all for the help on my previous post. I how have a link to the specific colors for my Corvette.

However, the information I received so far does not support the dark interior color on a ’03 Anniversary or ’04 Commemorative Edition cars. Where most Corvettes have the black dash, these cars have a light brown dash – darker than the ‘shale’ color indicated in the RPO codes.

Near as I can tell, the shale is 15/149B (C9505) color. This is from the RPO codes on-line and DuPont book, and represents the lighter interior color (seats and some trim items). Nowhere is there a reference to the color of the dash - a darker shale color. Also, the DuPont color flakes are no match either!

Sooo…I am still looking for the RPO or DuPont name or number for this color…Any ideas?

I know that Ken King at V.E. must know the name or the code for that color. All I know is that it is a part of the Shale interior. Try sending Ken an email or calling....you'll find him to be most helpful!
