Saddle carpet for 1969 Corvette coupe

[Dave Rifkin]

I have a problem; I ordered a saddle carpet set from Romeo Engineering in Michigan for my 1969 Corvette. After waiting nearly three months for the carpet I received it last week. O took it out of the box to find a much darker shade of carpet than what I have in the car now and what I had anticipated I'd be receiving. I have contacted Romeo Eng. and they contend that this is the correct color but, all photos of 1969 Corvettes with saddle interior I have seen show a much lighter color than what I have received. (I have attached a photo of the Romeo Eng. carpet compared to the saddle floor mats that I received from Corvette Central)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can determine what the correct color should be and how I resolve this situation with the vendor?
