How to Select the Correct Color
Notice:  Please do not ask us to match your color for you.  Since we can't see it in person, it would be impossible for us to know.  We also can't determine a color based on a photo.  We always recommend that you base your selection on the color description (if available) rather than what it looks like on your monitor.  If it doesn't match, you can always exchange or return it.

Selecting the color you need can be confusing and sometimes difficult.  Below are a few tips to aid you with your selection.

Keep in mind, there are millions of colors of leather and vinyl.  Each manufacturer has their own dye lots and even dye lots vary from each other, so it may not be possible to get an absolutely perfect match every time. 

We have hundreds of colors to choose from and all of them work equally well on both leather and vinyl regardless of whether the item is a piece of furniture or a car seat.  The only difference between them is that some colors are formulated to match specific colors like the automotive colors. 

If you can't find the color you want on one color chart, don't be afraid to look for on one of the other color charts.  Remember, any color will work on any item.

NOTE:  We don't have access to auto trim codes and colors based on your vehicle VIN #. 
You can only obtain that information from the dealer.  Please see below for further information.

The easiest way to choose your color is by using our "Make & Model" charts.  Please keep in mind, these charts are not 100% accurate.  For example, if you aren't able to find your specific model for a specific year, that doesn't mean that we don't have the color. In that event, try looking at the color chart to see if you can visually find the color.  Knowing the name of the color is extremely helpful.  Most of our color names are the same as the manufacturer.  If we have the actual trim code, it will be listed under the color name.

The absolute best way to know that you are choosing the correct color that matches your car interior is to call the parts department of your local dealer and request the color name.  It's easy to do.  Simply call the parts department and give them your VIN # (vehicle identification number, found on your car registration) and tell them that you'd like to know the color name of your interior.  You may need to be specific as to the part of the vehicle, such as the seats or dash because quite often there are two or more shades of the same color used in the interior. Normally, but not always, our color names correspond to the manufacturer color name.  If you don't see the color you need on our color chart, then it's not available yet.  Check back often as we update colors as soon as they are available.

Color charts and samples
Sorry we don't have a printed color chart. Just as difficult as it is to match a color on the Internet, a printed color chart is no different.  We run into problems with the off whites and tans, so we decided not to offer a printed color chart.  The best way to select a color is to rely more on the description of the color rather than what it looks like on your monitor.
We no longer offer sample swatches.
