Question The right interior color for my 1st Gen Ram?

Ok, I'm planning on buying a "A" pillar pod for my gauges soon. I want the pod to look factory and match the rest of the interior. I also need to paint a replacement headliner trim piece that I got from the local wrecking yard. My pickup is a 93' with the factory grey interior. What exact color is this called from the factory? I know Geno's sells "MOPAR" interior spray paint in the color "Mist Gray" part# BP-4796190. Is this color close to mine? Any suggestions on finding some aerosol matching paint. I know paint shops can color match, but I'd like to find some pre-made. Thanks

The name for the gray interior is Charcoal. The other two colors were Spice Tan and Crimson Red.

Theres another tan color also. Mine is a lighter tan color than my brothers was, and I believe his was the spice tan. Ive seen many like his, and a couple non LE trucks with my color...any clue?

I redid mine a satin black and it looks factory. I used the trim paint that autozone has. Sanded one spot that some glue or something got on the dash, cleaned it real good, and it looks great. Holds up good, I always have something on my dash (old sparkplugs to keys to tools and its not scratched yet. Its dirty now because I went to Cresson to the other yard that my job has and left the windows down and its all white now.

Go to a high end paint store, the one that makes automotive paints. If you bring in a piece of your trim they can scan it and make a spray can just for your truck colors, including the exterior paint.

Sounds pretty simple.........I'll do that! We have a few automotive paint stores here in town. I'll just bring in a piece of my interior paneling. Thanks
