I have a 1969 Dodge Charger with a factory green interior.  It's pretty dark green but....   The repro carpet shows OLIVE GREEN and DARK GREEN.   How can I tell what is correct?

All my original carpet has deterioriated.

Do you have a pic?  Mine is green and the carpet was olive green, the repro matched perfect.  You can ask Y1 for a free color sample of carpet, seat vinyl and headliner material to try and match things up.  I am not sure other companies will send you the same thing or not but you can check.  Mine was olive green and my seats were dark metalic green I think.
Over?! its not over until we say it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!...Hell no! and its not over now!..(Germans? Pearl Harbor?...shut up, he's on a roll)

That sounds about right to me.

Is the Olive Green the darkest green?

My '69 had the ultra dark green (looks almost black on cloudy days or at dusk) interior and olive green carpet remnants. The olive is lighter than the dark. I often wondered it it was just faded, but I found bits under the console (no light getting to it) and it was still olive toned.
