Identify this seat cover color?

I know it's tough from a picture but can any of you identify the color of this seat cover? It's a '79 C10 Custom Deluxe. I'm looking to order a replacement that's as close as possible to the tan base color.

I'm thinking about ordering from USA1 so I'll include their color chart. I guess it could be Camal Tan but it seems lighter than that (maybe just from sun fade). Does anybody know what colour the cloth section will be if I order their "2nd Design" in Camal Tan?

Here's why it's getting replaced.

It will look like this one. This is the Camel Tan. Too bad yours isn’t a tilting seat. But your interior definitely looks like Camel.

Make sure you buy a couple of end springs, they will most likely be broken. Just about all the 73-80 seats I restore, have the broken end springs.

Did you check with SMS to see if they have that original material? You might be able to get a good upholstery shop to repair what you've got.

Also, you can order some correct interior paint from USA 1 and those door panels will look like new in no time.

It's usually $79 a yard for the vinyl and $149 a yard for the cloth or patterned vinyl. He doesn't need that much material to make a repair on that cover.

I wouldn’t try to do a repair on that cover. Trust me, when I take them off, there is more that is dry rotted, your just asking for more problems down the road. A new cover is the way to go. It will last another 50-60 years.
