Original Carpet Color? - 1971 Dart GY8 Gold, Black Vinyl Roof, Harvest Gold Interior (H2Y3)
Hey FABO Brains!
I have a '71 Dart GY8 Gold Iridescent (metallic) car, Black Vinyl Top, with original Harvest Gold Vinyl Interior (H2Y3) with black door trim (per the broadcast sheet.)

The carpet in the car is faded to an off brown color from many years of sun. Would the assumption be it's going to be Gold or Ivy Gold?
I've got a Gold carpet in the box, but I'm second guessing myself. The Gold is SCREAMING and matches the paint hue, but the Ivy Gold in pictures from OER appears to be more subdued and would maybe even match to the Harvest Gold of the vinyl seats?
The other challenge is that the car's been resprayed and it's not quite GY8 when I compare pictures to other cars.

I spotted another car for sale and it's tough to tell what shade the carpet is, but it doesn't seem to be a popular configuration for cars out there at the moment.
Thoughts? Suggestions? I may have to roll with the Gold for now just to get it on the road - I had even debated going black since I've got the vinyl roof. It's just odd that there's no color code listed on the broadcast sheet for carpets.
Thanks!
