Highly unlikely since SC panels are several shades from where they started and most are two toned. The dash ages different from the door panels. In most every SC you can see a difference between the two.

anything close enough that i can just do all the panels that are that light tan color?...the only thing i wont be touching is steering wheel(want black one anyway) seats and center console/arm rest...
i dont mind painting the rest ...just impossible to find clean parts that arent an arm and a leg...most of mine are in really good shape just need to be refreshed a bit.

^ can you say what you went with?...im looking at the sem chip chain but its so hard to know how itll really turn out..the santa fe looks very light but theres so many issues with looking over a computer... if somewhere sold small cans locally id try a few out and see what did what..dont want to spend 100+ just to find a close match :P so hopefully more people will chime in with what they thought..

i saw Ivory listed as a toyota interior color..which "sounds" good but from the looks of it, it looks quite a bit darker..i saw one person with i believe a camaro restore that used it but said it looks darker in person(flash made it appear lighter)..and also used what he said was "sandlewood" which i didnt see on the chart?..
any way here they are..i think the ivory in the pic looks very close however like he said, looks brighter in pic..

SEM Ivory


SEM "Sandlewood"
