I have the same dilemma. I am looking for gold.
I finally settled on aftermarket (non-OEM looking to say the least) but should give some protection to my new carpet.
I have seen some NOS ones on epay, but never in green (or gold)
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice! HEMI is amazing! 1998 Silverado Z71 - Father-daughter project 1968 400 coupe - R/A clone (Blue Pearl) (sold) 1967 326 convertible - Sold  1980 T/A SE Bandit - Sold

My Pontiac friend down here dyes everything with vinyl dye. I can not beleive how good it comes out. For example, the 65 Tempest he is doing did not have carpet, it originally came with rubber mats that cover the entire floor (I have never seen this before now). Anyway, he and his painter cleaned them, repaired them and sprayed them with an automotive dye and they came out looking brand new. Now granted he went from a gold color to black however, he has shown me other items that they have sprayed on some of his other cars and it looks just as good. I saw some door panels that were sprayed from orginal black to an Ivy Gold and they look perfect.
These two guys swear they can spray any vinyl part from one color to another and have it come out perfectly and I beleive them based on what I have seen. These two guys are amazing. Now that the 65 Tempest is almost complete (I helped him swap the cam that wiped out this past week) they have already begun the resto on the 61 Safari Catalina wagon. I'll post pics of this car as well. They will be spray dying the interior in this car as well as it is currently a light blue interior and he has not decided what color it is going to be when completed...

Sorry I did not mean to go off topic, I was just stating that maybe the black ones could be dyed the correct green color...

Try The Paddock... As far as I understand their online catalog they provide correct rubber floor mats in other colors than blue, red and black, too, for some additional fee.... Hope this link works: http://www.paddockparts.com/Paddock/assets/html/FirebirdAccessories.pdfIt´s on page 38, showing a black rubber floor mat they note: special color available -- color $12.95 more. But I´m not sure WHAT floor mats were meant -- they list them for a period from 1967-92...
