Default Interior Color question

I seriously feel like a moron having to ask this, but is there somewhere/some code/anything I can look at to determine exactly what my interior color is? Ebony, Charcoal, Black, Grey, these all sound so similar to me, and having never owned an f-body before this one, I have no point of reference.

What year is your car? The interior color code will be listed on the SPID sticker as an RPO code.

Since you mentioned all the gray-ish/black interior colors, I'm guessing you don't have tan or neutral color. So that makes it pretty easy to figure out, since it only leaves two options:

'98-'99: Dark Gray
'00-'02: Ebony

Those were the only shades of gray-ish/black offered in those years, period. Some people like to call the Ebony color of the '01/'02 cars "black". It's not really black though, when you compare it to a car with a *true* black interior, you realize that this Ebony is really just a charcoal gray. One thing is correct though, the '00+ color is definitely a darker version of gray than the '98-'99 cars.

I have a 99 Formula. So I guess that means "Dark Gray"

When I see something listed as "Charcoal" they are probably refering to this, or will I most likely just have to ask what year it is from?

Excellent. Thanks. Mine's definitely the top, although it almost seems a bit darker or somewhere in the middle of the two. Either way, now I know.

I think the sad part is I have seen 98 cars with darker than mine, lighter than mine but definately not as dark as the 00-02 cars.
