Im looking for some help on the colors of specific interior parts for my 70 Charger R/T SE with a B5 interior. Most of my interior has either been dyed by a previous owner (the incorrect shade of blue) or is just missing. From pics I've seen it appears the B5 interior had two shades of blue (B5 and a darker blue along the lines of B7).
Before I buy/dye new parts, I want to make sure I have the correct colors. Below is what I know and dont know. Can anyone ID the unknown colors and/or let me know if the colors below are wrong? Dash and steering column Baltic blue (suede)
Carpet Medium blue
Dark blue color Glove box door, center dash trim, steering dash trim (from original) Pillar post molding (from original) Package tray (from original)
Bright blue color Seats (from original) Seat backs (from original) Upper and lower Door panels (from original) Sun visors (from original) Door jam trim (from original)
Unknown Seat belts Arm pads - originals look like they may have been B5 Console missing original, but from pics I've seen it appears to be darker than B5, maybe between B5 and B7 Headliner Headliner trim (Front and side rails, seat belt hardware, hangers) Kick panel From the back of original panel it looks medium blue (between a B5 and a B7) Dash pad Guessing this should be dark blue to match dash frame
1968 Charger R/T, 440 Auto, GG1; 1969 Super Bee, 383, 4-speed, T5; 1969.5 Road Runner, 440-6, 4-speed, 96; 1970 Duster 340, 4-speed, EV2; 1970 Charger R/T SE, 440 (496), Auto, EB3; 1970 Dart Swinger 340 (416), 4-speed, EV2; 1970 Corvette coupe, LS5, 4-speed, Daytona yellow; 2000 Corvette coupe, LS1, 6-speed, Twin Turbo, Torch red.

What color Upper door does your fender tag specify? My interior is bright blue on my 69 but it's coded B7. The plastic parts need to be painted with a vinyl paint, the dash is suede lacquer finish, and the metal on the doors, back seat and headliner moldings are a gloss enamel. They may appear to be different shades of blue but I would be surprised if they are not all Baltic Blue?

Tag indicates door frames are B5, which is quite a bit different from baltic blue. Since yours is coded B7 and mine is B5, that suggests my parts should be bright blue.
I took a look at the factory manual prior to posting, but it doesn't address all the console and plastic trim parts (which are the ones that seem to be a different shade than the seats, door panels and visors) or any headliner/seat belt colors. Anyone have pics of an unmolested B5 interior?
