Default Carpet Color

I have a 99 black coupe with grey interior and I am looking at replacing the back two carpet sections. When I looked at some new grey carpet it looked a little different in color than what I have in the car. I know it's possible that mine has faded a bit, but the new carpet looked more gold in color than grey? Any words of wisdom.

Make sure that the carpeting that you are ordering is color code 923. The Light Oak is more "gold" in color. The color is referred to as Light Grey and some times Lt. Pewter.

Where did you look? The aftermarket carpets are somewhat close, but nothing is identical to the OEM GM carpeting. We use OEM and aftermarket on our partitions and there is a HUGE difference, not only in color, but quality. Go to the delaer and check on replacement from them.......thats the only way it will match identically.
