Default Identifying interior color scheme

Hello corvette lovers. I am new to this forum and I recently purchased a 2015 stingray with Kalahari leather interior. I'm considering upgrading my steering wheel to incorporate similar color. My issue is most websites for corvette parts don't offer "kalahari" as a color option. I'm sure they refer to name for the color , which I'm soliciting your input. When choosing color what color best matches this kalahari color? I look forward to your input.

If you want a custom Kalahari wheel, you should speak to one of the forum vendors like Apsis. Many CF members have bought from them and their leather is spot on with OEM.

I could be wrong but did the factory offer the steering wheel in Kalahari? My 2019 2LT Kalahari came with a black wheel and shifter.

I agree. They offer quality products that match the color of the OEM parts.

I have never seen a Kalahari steering wheel unless it was an aftermarket one.

Correct. A full Kalahari wrapped steering wheel was not an option. I did this to mine to add some color…

Steve - that looks great. Keeping the outer perimeter black with Kalahari highlights is the way to go.

Actually, this came as a bonus with the flat-bottom steering wheel I purchased from a forum member. He had it matched and painted prior to selling it. It was initially gloss paint but I sprayed matte clear over it.
