I have a question about the decor package.... My car has the decor package with green interior. What color should the top part of the doors be, above the door panel? Green, or black? I've heard and read that both are correct??

Actually, no; I was thinking of the ad with a photo of a yellow RR on a reddish background. The ad you have there is an updated version of the original cartoon ad, which I have on the garage wall behind my RR. The copy I have doesn't mention the HT or Decor Group, and it was in the magazines right around intro time for the '68s. Could be that they updated more of their ads, too.

Dark green and right now I forget the name of that green, (catawa or something like that....or was that the dash color  ) my '68 road runner had a green interior and the tops of the doors were dark green.

Haha - fair 'nuff.
Yeah, yours are what I remember from my neighbor's '68 RR, almost the '69 F8, though that code didn't exist on the '68s.
My '68s were/are either black, black/silver, or burgundy, and I think different door/quarter colors from my green '69, though I could be wrong there. If it's the same color, I should have codes handy.
Hey, chip some off of your door and get us a current code, OK?

A12: yeah, that's the ad, though the one you posted doesn't call out the Decor Group specifically or mention its availability on the Coupe. I don't know if they updated the text later.
I have a '68 Chrysler & Imperial color chart: "Catawba Green" is the suede dash color name, Ditzler # 43721. Unfortunately my chart doesn't list the door/quarter metal color (not used on C-bodies) though it says Velvet Green 43137 & Avocado Green 43691 for various low-gloss interior trim. I can't find my full Dodge/Plymouth color chart, dang it.
Ok,so does anyone know of the correct code for my interior door? It wouldnt be body color, which is getting changed to F5, is it?
F5 is a '69 color.....thought you were talking about a '68 road runner?
My '68 was FF1 and I think something in '68 that was closer to '69 F5 would have been TT1 but that was still lighter than F5 Limelight green IMO

Yeah, you're correct...... F5 is a 69 color. I like that much better than the original TT1 color. I decided to go with F5 just cause I like it.
No build sheet, but the fender tag says H4F.

What is the letter under the letter U in UBS ? that is your upper door color.
H4F is High grade vinyl bench seat in green , not sure if that is two tone or not though.
