Default Floor Mats on a Dark Green Camaro interior

My 69Z, has dark green standard interior. I have been saving a set of nos floor mats for yrs to use in the car - today i took them out of the box for the first time in 12 yrs. The box was taped up, purchased on ebay back in the day. The part number on the box indicated dark green - but when i pulled them out they look to be med green to me. Significanly lighter than expected - and when placed on the floor, the color contrast to the rest of the interior is significant. I know that some of the interior parts on the color cars vary in shades, like the steering wheel plastic varies significantly to the painted steering column.

My question - does anyone have a dark green interior and if so, do you have the orig mats that would go with that interior? If so, is the color more dark green than med green that im seeing?

Appreciate any help....

Eddie my two dark green interior cars have the same color mats you are referring too... I would say they are fine and the will match you steering wheel better or you can take out the green interior and send it my way...

ok, im confused, and that is not hard to do



- - are both of you saying your mats are considered dark green, but the color is really med green in color? I would asssume dark green would be almost the color of the carpet - not 2 shades lighter like mine are?

I don't think any of us said our mats are DG. Medium green, lighter than the carpet and interior. Not sure I ever saw dark green mats. BBBenny has original mats in his fathom green camaro but can't remember if it has a DG interior or not. Its either black or DG if I remember correctly. Maybe DG interiors got black mats or that lighter green color Ed. Maybe early cars are different? Wouldn't lose any sleep over it though. Put em in or sell em to me.

During 1969,they offered two green shades of 4 vinyl contoured floor mats for the Camaro,Nova,Chevelle &amp; Impala series.
They were one generic size &amp; you cut their borders to fit the certain vehicle.

Dark Green:
Fronts #993668
Rears #993671

Midnight Green:
Fronts #993667
Rears #993670

They also offered them in clear vinyl as well.
Clear:
Fronts #986997
Rears #986998
