This can get really frustrating, because sun can fade things over the years, and not every shade for every part even matched from the factory. Case in point, my '69. It came with a one year only dark navy blue interior. The door panels, steering wheel and column, and dash pad are all dark navy. Guess what color my original visors are? Light blue.

They don't even make navy parts anymore. I'm in the market for a new dash pad, and I'm going to either have to get black and install it, or paint the black one navy. Where there's already the black window gasket, black instrument panel, radio knobs, etc. I may just go black.
