Default interior colors??

If you look at a used car with Cashmere interior what color is the dash and carpet?
This might sound like a silly question , but our new Cruze LTZ/RS has the beige interior but the dash and floor are dark brown.
I do not want a black dash or carpets in my new used C6.

Corvette Cashmere interior has: Cashmere carpet, black upper dash, Cashmere lower dash.....for 2LT and 3LT versions.


Edit: Adding a pic I found just for an example:

I have a work truck Avalanche that's the same way: tan seats with brown upper dash and trim. Heck even a Volvo Class 8 semi with tan seats has brown color keyed upper and lower dash panels: not on a corvette though...you get black and you'll like it.

Might I add, IMHO the cashmere interior is ugly on a Vette for this vary reason; unless you are doing black ext with cashmere, but that looks more luxury euro gt than american sports car.

A cashmere interior will have cashmere carpets, unless it it a 4LT but cashmere 4LT interiors are very rare. However the upper part of the dash and the center console will be black.

The 2003 50th Anniv. and the 2004 Comm. in the C5s are the only recent vintage vettes with a light colored upper dash.

Here are a few pics of a cashmere interior for 2009. I think the cashmere interior is very attractive, and fits quite nicely with the vette. There are multiple exterior colors that go very well with cashmere.

Actually, we have a Cashmere interior and I do like the black on the upper dash and doors. While driving, the interior seems to totally disappear from my vision. But when I stop and start looking around the inside, then the Cashmere becomes obvious and quite good looking.
IMO. You are not required to agree...

Thanks for the pics.
The vette looks alot like the Cruze interior.
Now I just have to find a 6 speed with Tan top and Burgundy with low miles.
I am looking at a tripe black 6 speed 10,000 miles, but with 2 white Goldens I prefer the light interior like our Cruze and Tahoe.
