Between the two, which one is lighter?
I had forgotten all about this. My '95 C280's leather interior was called Saddle in all the brochures and sales info, including the window sticker. But, when ordering interior parts (plastic) the MBUSA database called the color mushroom. If I had any mushrooms that color, I'd toss them. Saddle/Mushroom is far darker than Parchment which is sort of a washed out light tan.

Here's a picture of the car (taken about 2000). The color is Garnet Red. The interior was very slightly lighter than the picture.
