'''Interior color codes''' are factory color references used to identify original [[Pontiac Fiero]] interior colors and trim-color families.

This page covers interior color names and color-code relationships. For RPO/SPID trim codes that identify seat material, seat style, seat-belt color, and interior equipment, see:

* [[Interior trim RPO codes]]

== Overview ==

Fiero interior colors are commonly identified by color names such as Light Slate Gray, Light Saddle, Medium Doeskin, Medium Beechwood, Dark Gray, and Medium Dark Gray.

Interior color information may appear on the [[Service parts identification label]] as part of a trim or interior-color code.

Interior color codes are useful when:

* Identifying an original interior color
* Matching replacement interior parts
* Restoring faded or damaged trim
* Comparing seats, carpet, door panels, console parts, and dashboard pieces
* Interpreting the Service Parts Identification label
* Distinguishing color from seat material or trim style

The interior color code identifies original factory information. It does not prove that the current interior parts are original to the car.

== Interior color codes ==

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Code
! Interior color
! Notes
|-
| 13I
| Light Slate Gray
| Interior color code
|-
| 62I
| Light Saddle
| Interior trim color code
|-
| 64I
| Medium Doeskin
| Interior color code
|-
| 82I
| Medium Dark Gray
| Interior color code
|}

These codes identify interior color families. They should not be confused with seat-material codes, seat-style codes, or seat-belt color codes.

== Related trim-code families ==

Interior trim codes often use the same color-family numbers as the interior color codes.

For example, codes beginning with '''13''' are generally related to Light Slate Gray, while codes beginning with '''64''' are generally related to Medium Doeskin.

{| class="wikitable"

|}

* [[Interior trim RPO codes]]

== Color versus trim material ==

Interior color and interior trim material are related, but they are not the same thing.

An interior color code identifies the color family.

A trim code may identify color, seat material, seat style, fabric type, leather/vinyl combination, or other trim details.

For example:

{| class="wikitable"
! Code type
! Example
! Meaning
|-
| Interior color code
| 64I
| Medium Doeskin interior color
|-
| Seat trim code
| 64B
| Medium Doeskin cloth trim
|-
| Seat-belt color code
| 649
| Medium Doeskin seat-belt module/color
|}

Because of this, the full trim code should be recorded when documenting a car.

== Common Fiero interior color names ==

Common Fiero interior color names include:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Interior color
! General notes
|-
| Light Slate Gray
| Early gray interior color family
|-
| Light Saddle
| Tan/saddle interior color family
|-
| Medium Doeskin
| Tan/brown interior color family
|-
| Medium Beechwood
| Later tan/beechwood interior color family
|-
| Dark Gray
| Gray interior color family used in some later applications
|-
| Medium Dark Gray
| Later gray interior color family
|}

Interior color names can be confusing because different sources may use slightly different wording, and some parts may fade differently over time.

== Dark Gray versus Medium Dark Gray ==

Some references distinguish between '''Dark Gray''' and '''Medium Dark Gray'''.

For Fiero trim-code use, the 82-code family may be described differently depending on model year and source.

For example:

* 82B may be listed as Dark Gray Ripple cloth trim.
* 82D may be listed as Dark Gray or Medium Dark Gray Pallex cloth deluxe trim.
* 82I identifies Medium Dark Gray interior color.
* 822 may be listed with Dark Gray or Medium Dark Gray leather/cloth trim descriptions.

When matching parts, compare the code, model year, and the actual part color.

== Color fading and replacement parts ==

Interior colors can change appearance over time.

Common causes include:

* Sun exposure
* Heat
* Age
* Cleaning products
* Dye or paint repair
* Water damage
* Previous-owner modifications
* Replacement parts from another car
* Differences between vinyl, plastic, carpet, and fabric

A faded dashboard, console, door panel, or seat may not accurately show the original interior color.

When trying to identify or match an interior color, check protected areas such as hidden trim surfaces, areas under panels, seat-belt mounting areas, console edges, or parts shielded from sunlight.

== Using the Service Parts Identification label ==

The [[Service parts identification label]] is the best starting point for identifying the original interior trim information assigned to a Fiero.

When using the label:

* Record the complete trim code exactly.
* Look for interior color, seat trim, and seat-belt color codes.
* Verify the model year.
* Compare the code with the actual interior.
* Check whether major interior pieces have been replaced.
* Do not assume all visible parts are original.

For RPO/SPID trim-code details, see:

* [[Interior trim RPO codes]]

== Current interior versus original interior ==

The current interior may not match the original interior color code.

Many Fieros have had interior parts changed because of:

* Seat wear
* Cracked dashboards
* Damaged carpets
* Broken trim panels
* Sun fading
* Water leaks
* Customization
* Parts availability
* Interior swaps
* Kit-car or rebody work

When documenting originality, use both the Service Parts Identification label and physical inspection.

== Common mistakes ==

Common mistakes when using interior color codes include:

* Confusing interior color codes with seat trim codes
* Confusing seat-belt color codes with interior color codes
* Assuming the current interior is original
* Matching parts by eye without checking the original code
* Ignoring fading or discoloration
* Assuming all gray interiors are the same
* Assuming all tan interiors are the same
* Ignoring model-year differences
* Ordering parts based only on a seller's color description

== Service notes ==

When working with interior color codes:

* Photograph the Service Parts Identification label before it fades further.
* Record the full trim and color codes.
* Verify model-year applicability.
* Compare visible parts with protected, unfaded areas.
* Check whether seats, carpet, console pieces, or door panels have been replaced.
* Use caution when buying used interior parts described only as “gray” or “tan.”
* Compare material type as well as color.
* Keep notes when restoring or recoloring interior parts.

== Notes ==

Interior color codes identify factory color information, but they do not describe every detail of the interior trim.
