Default Interior Colour Match

I bought a partial old stock interior kit last fall and now installing. I need some more material for the back corners and a few more places but having a hard time matching the colour. Ecklers tells me it should be Camel Brown but mine seems a bit darker. I’m not sure how old mine is and I heard Mohair fades more green with age. If anyone has this colour with age on it can you verify I would be getting the correct one? Here’s a few pictures of their colour swatch with mine. Thanks.

I see the missing rear panel you refer to. How about matching that rear panel to your door panels?

Try Mike at Classtique Upholstery. He does A's and T's and is a really good guy.

That’s what I’m trying to do. It’s the same material and colour as my swatch I’m comparing.

Best of luck, almost impossible to match older dye lots. . May want to try some high end fabric suppliers or those in the UK specializing in wool fabrics.

Does anyone have a picture of Camel Brown interior to compare? I know lighting makes a difference. I used fluorescent lighting. Here’s another picture showing a door panel.
