WA9148 is the code for Light Saddle.You could go to your local Auto Paint Supply co.and have them mix it in a spray or just have it mixed by the Pt-Qt.A few members here and I had ours mixed at a shop named BAPS in York PA.

Thanks for your answer! look a litle darker than my interior...maybe mine is too much faded...it is the color for the 62 saddle for 87years?

The color codes listed on paint ref are for exterior paints. No correlation to interior colors. Since gm and other manufacturers didn't paint interior, they have no records or charts for interior paint or dye. The only way to get a good match is to use a computer scanner or copy what someone else has discovered to be a good match. Some companies have gone through the matching process already for popular colors, for example SEM produces GM landau black in a can. I know many people here have been searching for a good matching tan, not sure if I have seen someone match it well yet.
Manta, have you painted your interior panels with that code? Your interior looks great.

I used the code 72I(Carmine Red)The OP has to find his interior color code 1st.I was using the GM color codes for reference.
He needs 62I,Interior Trim Lt.Saddle

Just to clarify some more manta, you got the int code for your car from the RPO or some other source? Then BAPS was able to use that code to mix your color?

Thanks for sharing! I wonder where they are looking up the paint code? Paint ref.com doesn't have any of those codes listed.

I used SEM-15173 (camel), it looks good but it is not an exact match of the original colors https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/post...68-post13.html

This pic shows the original light saddle tan vs SEM-15173 https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/atta...0247-104ko.jpg

Here is a pic of the original beachwood tan https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/atta...0372-121ko.jpg

Would be nice if someone could find out the original tan, standard color codes.
