Default light oak or pewter?

What is the difference? I mean, what years were the colors offered? I keep hearing references to both and I'm not around my '98 to run the RPO codes or anything. Hell I dunno where the RPO code sheet is

In 1998 was it light oak or pewter?

Got a chance to swap to some black and oak sport seats soon and want to make sure I dont do that if the interior is pewter, not oak

I never heard of an interior color called pewter. I almost bought a '98 convertible with a pewter exterior.

Your car could come with lt oak, black or lt gray int(code 923). I don't know what the lt oak code is, but if you have trouble distinguishing it from lt gray, look in the trunk compartment and make sure you DON'T have the 923 code.

Pewter was the goldish silver exterior paint. Oak is the tan interior available in all C5's but not the anniversary color which they called shale.
