What color are my armrests ???

Pic below shows a "red" armrest pad installed that I ordered from Brothers, On top of it it the original "red" armrest, the original does not appear faded as the back side looks the same as the front.

Does anyone know what color to order or where to get a pair that are correct ?

Thanks

Repro parts are typically "Close" but not exact. both in fit and finish.

Re: What color are my armrests ???

I saw those darker red ones in vans out here in the Junk Yards. The one on top looks better to your door panal match. Good Luck on finding the proper color you want.

Re: What color are my armrests ???

Repros are made as close to the original color as any seperate batch would be.The problem is there are more than one version of some colors,like red,and only one is offered.The interior pieces are offered as if there would be no choice.There was a bright red,darker/medium red,and a darker red that was almost maroon.
But,GM didn`t do perfect matching with alot of their interior pieces.In a blue`72 interior the seat & visor is different from the door panels which are close to the arm rests & dashpad,but none are close to the steering wheel.
