Highlander seat color question

I am *considering* keeping my interior a lot more stock looking than I previously intended. My K5 is a Highlander package and originally had the special seat covers…I am assuming…because when I got it, the PO had replaced pretty much everything. Regular parchment rear seat and base door panels along with 73+ bucket seats. Anyway, the blazer is, and was originally, dark olive green. Finally, my question is, can anyone tell me what color the seats would have been. Obviously, blue and orange are out of the question, to me, green or grey are both possible. Is there anyway to tell for sure?

Look here for some history…

Dunno but my own personnel preference would be to use the green.

Very cool you have a blazer with that package, once you go plaid...

Re: Highlander seat color question

medium or dark olive would have the avocado plaid (green). i am partial to it, my first highlander was a medium olive long bed with green plaid, sexy and ugly all in one but i loved it.

these trucks don't need vacuum gauges cause they don't suck!
two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights do make a left
all i want is a little more than i'll ever get
it's better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6

Re: Highlander seat color question

Nice info on your post Critter. Look at my post on my new Jimmy called "Check out the colors on my new ride" I have the green Highlander interior. The back seat is like new but I bet it will be imposible finding someone to match the front seats when I have them recovered.

Yep, I posted on that thread about it being a Highlander.

I still haven't made up my mind. Normally, I am the kind of guy to modernize these trucks a little bit, steering wheel, seats, wheels, etc. But the fact that this trim package is somewhat special, I am thinking about keeping it a little more original. Here's the thing, it might end up with a nice white paint job and the gray plaid seats. Who knows, I need to concentrate on rust removal at the moment. Thanks for the input guys.
