MB-Tex color verification

Hello Gentlemen! Can somebody please help me confirm the real color of my seat vinyl cover? I'm not sure if it is 725:Cream, 727:Cream-Beige, or 730: Palomino.
According to the Russian web-site (http://www.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/view.html), when I entered my VIN, the interior is MB-TEX QUARTS (155) which is not even close to 725, 727 and 730.
I need a new driver side seat bottom cushion but I want the same color vinyl that will exactly match the other seats. Thanks! Any input will be appreciated!

How about a picture for us.

The Russian site lists the wrong seat color for my car too.

Post a picture of the interior and you'll get a dozen bites If the site isn't helping based on the original VIN, then we can't likely help without an image!

Cream is extra light, I'd call it antique white-- the color of lace doilies in a smoker's parlor.

Cream Beige I've never heard of, but I'll go out on a limb and say that it's going to sit dead between the cream and palomino or that it's a replacement for beige, and is almost the same color.

Palomino is a pinkish tan-- the color of a full-flavor cigarette butt's speckles

Post a picture, we want to see!

I hope I can show a picture but....

I was trying to upload the photo I just took but I don't know how to upload it manually, it's too big and I don't know how to make it smaller.

Therefore, by process of elimination, according to your description, Palomino is out of the equation for the fact that it not pinkish tan. So, it's got to be between the Cream-Beige and Cream.

Back up. Its an 85. Its quartz. Cream and cream beige were colors avilable on the first gen (NA) 123's. More than likely your monitor/web browser is not display colors correctly. Order a sample and compare.

Yeah, you're right, mine is an '85 and according to this Russian website, the dealer is Canada (701). I don't know what that means?

That's what I thought too. But half of me is saying that it's Cream and looks like Cream-Beige because it's old and a little filthy. But from what I heard, these MB-TEX don't fade so that being said there's no way that it bacame lighter from the original shade of color.
