i believe in my old truck i had the dark graphite with graphite inserts. just a little contrast and hid dirt. best thing to do is contact them and get them to send you a sample packet. then tear the samples off one at a time and label them. that is what i did and like i stated, if i remember correctly the dark graphite matches best.

Yessir, that's your best bet...you'll be able to hold the swatches against your interior and see what matches best. It's tough to tell from a computer screen as everybody's settings are different and colors vary from computer to computer.

I thought it matched pretty well. The only issue is with the factory dark graphite - it has a purple hue to it when in the light. Other than that, everything looks good.
