A recent happy accident led to a discovery. I bought a bunch of older base/clear paint, and in the mix were two cans that are nearly a dead match for our fawn metallic interior color. Funny thing is, by carefully comparing these colors against my own original paint trucks, I found several slightly different shades of factory fawn, some within the same truck!

Excuse the poor quality pics, but you can get the idea of a good match.
The door-end shot is my 1965 Suburban for reference.
The '92 chevy truck and '89 mopar pics are just internet grabs.
