'59 Lark interior colors

[kelmbaker]

My Lark was originally a white car with a blue interior. I have a chance to buy NOS seat skins in green, no door panels.
Dieing (sp?) the seat covers is out of the question, but dieing my present blue door panels and dash pad might be OK.
How different are the green vs blue in that year? any chance of mixing them? Or is the difference so great as to warrant dieing? I can get a green floor mat, but the rear carpet is blue.
Anyone familiar with the two colors involved? Any comments are welcome.

If it were me and this car is a Regal, I would definitely buy the right seat covers and not old rotted cords ones, or dye them Blue!

The knee pads on the lower part of the dash should be dark green to match the top pad, the dash paint should be bright medium Green, the arm rests and door panels will look terrible in med blue because the green is a true green, not blue/green so it does NOT go with BLUE!

My '59 Regal 4 Dr. is Green with the green cloth interior, I don't know if you are looking to buy Regal all vinyl or cloth. Deluxe seat covers are too cheap looking to even bother with.

I'd like to check them out as my Rose Mist interior is pretty much toasted.
