OK guys first of all I’m trying to find the original color code for my interior. It is a two tone blue decor package interior. I would like to find the right paint for the dash . For the life of me I can’t find it. The car is UU1 light blue . Build sheet is long gone does anybody have the paint chips or the codes any help would be appreciated . Also I need a set of blue kick panels and a pillar covers they are darker blue thanks Pat

The old DuPont code for the dash suede finish is 9505LH "Bahama Blue".
The suede finish (flat in terms of gloss, and textured like sandpaper) was also used for the ashtray door & upper center windshield garnish molding.

Whether the exterior was U, Q or E, the colors used on the interiors didn't differ. DuPont codes for the other interior blues:

9500LH light Cobalt (low gloss)
9492LH medium Bahama (low gloss)
4890L Cobalt Met. (gloss)

I have seen light and dark blues. I don't think they are all the same.

Blue interiors (& other colors) vary quite a bit.

Different vendors, different materials etc, so multiple shades is nothing to cause concern.

To be more specific, what I mean is that for example the blue dashes in '68 Plymouth Bs were the same color code, the upper door frames the same color code, etc. There's like 4 different shades of color on blue interiors & maroon interiors I've had. The plastic parts might even be 2 different colors. Sure, the actual shades or tones can vary from car to car, just as exterior colors would. As one can see from the different codes, it wasn't one blue for everything; but whether the subject car's exterior was U, Q, or E, that didn't change the blue interior color codes, which it appeared to me was part of the OP's inquiry.
