Color blind! Burgundy or Maroon?

My burgundy carpet has sunfaded to various shades of red and burgundy now.I'll probably change out to rubber floor mat

I'm just picky about a factory appearance is the only reason I do it. GM never really got a perfect match on anything. Parts that are made of different materials, I should say. Using my K5 as an example again, the plastic door panels were originally a slightly different shade of red compared to the vinyl dash pad. And the painted fiberglass (SMC or whatever variant it is) center console was also a slightly different shade of red. So I used two different shades of red when I changed the door panels and dash pad. It's not an obvious color difference, just enough to give it a factory appearance.

Yep, my truck has varying hues of tan and brown throughout and it's a factory original for the most part.

Does yours have the dark brown dash pad? If so, I never understood why they did that. Probably to save money by using it with the Brown and also Tan interiors, but by that logic, the Gray interiors should have got the Charcoal dash pad.

Dark Saddle according to the SPID. It actually works for my truck since it's brown and white. But, yeah, dark dash, dark interior paint, varying tan trim pieces, tan carpet, door panels and seat.

Sent the Carmine Red back and ordered the maple/maroon from the truck shop.
Got my maroon dash pad from the truck shop yesterday so things should start moving along.
