Question Feedback on Sand Beige fabric from SMS Fabrics

Have any of you used the Sand Beige fabric from SMS Auto Fabrics ? I received my samples but they seem a little bit darker than the actual fabric on the car. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Original fabric is obviously subject to fading over time. Make sure you're checking the sample to a section of original fabric that has not been exposed to years of sun.

The smoke grey fabric I got from SMS was a dead match.

SMS is probably your best bet for OEM original, I have gotten samples for the infamously hard to get SVO insert material(a black square dot and gray background pattern) and it is a dead on match(compared to unfaded original). It's not cheap but I'd go with what they sent you as a match. It seems like at least one other person here has had good luck with them.

I will give my two cents worth as well. I purchased SVO material for my 1986 and Crystal Blue material for my 1990 from SMS and they are both spot on. As stated above a little expensive but if you want it to be correct it is the way to go.
