For a 1968 Firebird 400 Convertible, Solar Red.
The dashpad, pillars, and visors are what I could call Burgundy. Anyone know what correct interior color name or code for this?
Unfortunately the dash is in rough shape, brittle as an egg, and needs to be restored and can't afford JustDashes at the moment.
If I go the repo route, the Red color is incorrect for my car.
Looking for some options.
Thanks...

'68 did not offer burgundy. So it is either red, or someone painted it.
Red cars generally came with either red, black, or white interiors.
PHS will tell you what colors came on your car from the factory.
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!

My '68 Solar Red convert with code 258 has multiple red shades and gloss levels. The dash pad, upper dash, door lock pulls, dash assist handle, visors, etc. is a burgundy. I have attached a couple color charts with paint codes, one from the Pontiac parts illustrations book and one from a PPG color chart.
