Default Interior paint color?

I want to get a gauge-pod (dash inset, to be precise) to go with my car, but they only sell it in black. That's not a problem as I can just paint it, however I can't find the paint code for the Ford tan interior. The actual color is a dark grey/tan looking (A terrible description, I know. Anyone with a tan interior knows what the color is).

Here's the pod I want:



VHT has a "Ford Interior Light Gray" paint color, code VHT-SP-979. Is this the right one? And if not, which one do I need?

depending on what year your car is the colors are different. the tan interior on my 94 is saddle. im pretty sure the tan on the 99-04 is called parchment.

Oops. I have a 2001 GT (tan interior).

Thanks Ryan. However, the gauge bezel thingy is a different color than the rest of the car's interior.

The entirety of the interior is that parchment color, but the dash inset is for some reason a different color. It's much darker than the rest of the car's insides (at least on mine).

not sure about that then. im pretty sure that on the 94-98 that all the gauge bezels are black. i have a tan interior and mine is black. so im not sure about the 99-04 gauge bezels.

Wow, I'm a moron! I have absolutely no idea why, but I was completely wrong about the color. It is the same color tan as the rest of the interior, exactly like you said before. I must have been on some heavy drugs when I first looked at it . Sorry about that!

Thanks for the info, and I'll be sure to buy "parchment" tan when I get the paint.
