99 Interior Colors I called Hawks Third Gen today and they're telling me there was dark gray and graphite.
How can I check for sure which one I have? I'd like to say it's graphite-the RPO sticker should have it, no?

Uh...Neutral Tan and Graphite (dark gray) should've been the 2 mainly offered colors for 98-99. There was also the White/Black interior of the 30th Anniversary TAs and also a dark tan & black combo out there aswell...can' remember the year(s) that one was available though... :/

It appears that these suppliers have more parts/colors than I thought. If you go on yearone.com they list graphite and gray on select parts for the 98-99 cars.
As mentioned, the lady at hawks third gen also asked me what color my interior was. Graphite, or Gray

Graphite was an LT1 era color, 98-99 LS1 cars were dark pewter which is a shade lighter than graphite. It's hard to tell a difference but when you put them next to one another, each is a shade darker. Dark Pewter being the lightest, Graphite then Ebony. Ebony to Graphite the difference is slight, but enough to drive you crazy if you mismatched a panel. I did an interior conversion on my TA, I didn't know the color the differences at the time and ended up with a collage of colors that has since been corrected.

Probably, but even than it's a bit tough as there is no consistency in regards to color names given on year one's site.
They have the colors that you would think would only apply to LT1 cars, labeled on years that would apply to late model cars like ours.
I called classic industries as well, they told me to look in my glove box as well for the colors. Says theres a decal in there.

BTW, your RPO decal is on the door of your '99. GM stopped putting it in your glovebox in '95 or '96.
