    Very few distributors actually carry colors (for a premium price when they do, of course). Most have only the molded colors, depending on the aftermarket/NOS availability. Get what you can find available for the correct fit (don't settle on "close"), and paint with interior/upholstery dye paint (matched to your interior color code). You'll be money ahead in the end, and also have a can of touch-up paint to hit the fasteners, exposed harness, bezels, etc, for a real professional looking job.

    My local auto paint store mixed me up some tan that matched perfectly. They put it in a small glass jar. The top was a small aresol can that screwed right to the jar. Prep'd per their instructions and gave it a couple coats. Looks like it is from the factory.
