Center console

I'm working on making a custom center console and need a little info/opinion.

What is the paint code for "medium green". The console is going to have a metal center that is matched to the color.

Second, do you think vinyl would look good for the side. I went to some fabric store looking for something like tweed, and thye didn't have any, but they did have quite a bit of vinyl. They also had this material that is kinda weaved together that I thought would look good (reminded me of carbon fiber mesh...as cloth). What do you guys think?

I'll post some pics when I'm done. So far it looks pretty good. It is incorporating my B&M mega truck shifter, 2 cup holders, 10" sub and amp and in the future will have a transmission temp gauge in it too.

I think matching the sides to the seats or dash pad with vinyl would look best. Do you have any pics.

No pictures right now. I picked up some fabric to use. I need a little bit of foam to finish it.
