bepnewt Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I have a 66 Riv with what I call Plum interior. What is the correct name of that color? I need to get some matieral for the front arm rest.There was a nice Plum/Plum '67 (?) at the ROA meet in Branson last month. Here's a pic of it:http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5302/5870207605_4506e5f74f_o.jpgAnd a link to all the pics:ROA Meet 2011 Branson, MO - a set on FlickrThe ROA site lists "Plum" for the interior for both 1966 and 1967.In '66, it looks like the colors were called Plum for both the exterior and interior, according to the ROA site, and Riviera Plum/Plum for the exterior/interior (respectively) for '67. This site contradicts this:1967 Buick Paint Color Codes - Buick Paint Cross-Referenceand has it reversed with '66 having "Riviera Plum" for exterior and '67 having "Plum". Which one is correct for the exterior color name?-BEPNewt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Here's another link that shows exterior colors. To find a match for your arm rest go to the local upholstery supply house and look though one of their swatch books. Besides color, you also need to make sure you match the grain pattern.1967 Buick Paint Charts and Codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a portion of his seats redone with new plum vinyl material. Not sure where he got it but I was surprised is was a perfect match and blended with the original nicely.

RivNut Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Jason's post jogged my memory. When I was re-doing my '70 Skylark, I got material from this source. Because I was replacing torn panels and not the entire seat, I sent them some samples and they sent me yardage in the exact color and grain that I needed.
