    2-tone grey interior - color code?

    I have a '99 with the "dove grey" interior. Apparently, that's not the proper name, but that's what even the leather dye places call it, so that's what I'm going to call it for this thread... I got some dye from Leather World and did the lighter color on the seats and door panels, but there are a few places where the dark grey needs touch-up. Anybody know what the darker shade is called? Thanks.

    Those places are wrong. They also can’t properly distinguish between dye and the proper two stage paint process… the latter being what the OE leather is colored by. But whatever. Dye everything dOvE GRaY.

    The darker gray is vinyl, not leather. I’m unsure what you’re trying to accomplish by painting those pieces. Have you tried cleaning with proper solutions and tools? Magic erasers work well here.

    The center armrest is the darker color and leather. I'd like to re-do it if possible. Do you know what the color is called?

    You’re right. The armrest is different.

    N5/D8TT Gray. It may have some bullshit made up bird name. I don’t know it.
