Default Color Matching the headliner & visors

I'm probably on the autistic scale near the thin end. I find that having advertising (air bag warnings) in front mf my face on the air bags all the time is, frankly, distracting and insulting. Sort of like finding crumbled-up fast food wrappers all over the front seat and floor....

Anyway I did a little experimenting today and found that Pantone 468, which breaks down into C-6 M-8.5 Y-23.5 K-0 in four-color specs, is not a perfect match but it appears to be as close as a US color standard (Pantone) is going to get us, for the beige ("Pistachio"? Brown lowers & beige uppers) interior fabric.

There's probably a closer match in a European color spec scheme but for now...Make a box 8" wide and 1-1/4" tall in any "paint" program, and you too can rashly endanger the lives of any recluses who should have been warned they were surrounded by explosive devices.

And do it aesthetically, too.(G)
