Finding out interior colour name

Post by Pondrew » Mon Sep 27, 2021 7:42 pm

I need to get some colour matched leather dye. Furniture clinic (and others) do colour matched dyes for most BMW interior colours. Only thing is I can't find out what name BM call my interior. Should it be written on the car somewhere? It's white so needs to be correct, but not sure if it's Silverstone, Canberra or another named shade. I don't even know if it's Dakota, Merino, or what.
Would a BM dealer be able to tell from the VIN?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Try a VIN decoder, they usually list the upholstery as well. E.g. https://bimmer.work/
2005 Z4 3.0i Sterling grey
