Interior Color
 
I'm looking to do a white interior. I noticed on several catalogs that there are different shades of white. Is parchment the closest to pure white? Does anyone have pictures of parchment white?

This is Parchment. It's more of an ivory than a white.

Parchment is as white as it got in these trucks. Looks plenty white to me,just not bright bleach white. There is very little on this earth that is pure white. Even snow white isn't a pure white. Actually,the 50th anniversary trucks got the whitest white.

I'd guess and say more of an egg shell white. WHITE is white, more like the Linen white you see on the cab top.
Thanks slikside, it's the original (43 year) old seat!

Some interior pieces were different. Here are some other pics. These were all sandblasted and painted.
The color, Parchment (not the actual paint name/code), was matched from the backside of one of the vinyl door covers.

White is White, like the garage door in the background.

Even your standard sheet of white paper isn't actually 'white'. There's an even brighter white, which is the real white. Hence, 'Parchment' is not 'White'. What makes white, white?
