I believe the color is called med. beechwood for light tan interiors. 4th gen seats are a little darker than 3rd gen seats.

I can't say for sure, but I doubt it. I have the same interior and cloth 4th gen seats. If you want to see the colors of all leather and cloth 4th gen seats go HERE
4th gens
the 4th gen seats in that color do not match the thirdgens! i know from experiance here.. get a nice set of 4th gens (black/grey) & go to your local autoparts stor & puy all the stuff you need to paint the panels. its not hard to do & you can really customize your car that way... its what im doing if u need help w/ it.:rockon:

I was considering swapping out the seats in my roc. I don't exactly enjoy the color of the leather in my tan interior, and I also figure it's a good way to preserve its condition. My seats are RPO 622; which according to the decoder program is Light Saddle. The funny thing is they're to dark for me to like the color. The tan 4th gen seats are lighter in color than mine and I think they'll look perfect with the other tan tones in my car. We might be talking about two different colors , here is a pic of mine:
wow
those are way darker than mine.. i have the standard tan w/ black stripes cloth seats.. the 4th gen tans are way diff than that color... i didnt realize the tan seats were that much darker... hope u guys get it figured out.. i just gave up on my interior & satrted painting.. didnt like the tan that much anyway.... Later

OK, I'm not an expert but here's the way I understand it to be. I have Med. Beechwood on my 89 Iroc...which is Darker than the light Doeskin...which I have in basement for when I'm ready to do my upgrade/resto. All the 4th gen seats I've seen are a pretty close match to the doeskin...pretty light in color. As far as light saddle...is that a 4th gen color or a 3rd gen?
Bottom line is...and don't quote me, but I think the med.beechwood is darker than the Light Doeskin. Could be wrong though.

I have the Med Beechwood also.. But I don't know if it's lighter or darker. Here is a picture of mine.
Hey Abubaca, are you planning on removing your med Beechwood interior? Any good condition parts going to be available? That color is next to impossible for me to find.

Kelowna huh? ...are you a Rockets fan? I'm a big hockey fan!
....I will have most all of the interior! It's not perfect...well...some pieces are, some are not....depends what you need. What do you need? I'll be doing the switch before the end of the summer.
PS- I'll be doing the ENTIRE interior, so if it's in good condition, you pay shipping and it's yours.

tan/beechwood/brown....WHAT THE HELL WAS CHEVY THINKING?? they have to be the ugliest colour/s ever in a car...had to be the brainchildren of the 80s to let those go...ive painted every damned "tan" piece in my iroc, then i put red/black seat covers, got a black carpet and changed the ttop liner to red leather...ahhh looks sooo much better!!!

All you guys that posted the pics of your "beachwood" interior....it appears to be the same basic color as mine. My seat pattern is different though....the trim of the seats is the darker color, and the center (where you actually sit) is a few colors woven into each other (a really light brown, a medium brown and a really dark brown)(looks like the pattern of a grandma's couch..haha)....this makes the center of the seats blend in really nicely w/ everything else.....the seats dont "stick out" from the rest of the interior like some of yours did. I think that maybe I have some kind of special pattern, cause i've never seen another thirdgen w/ a pattern like mine. I like the seats, but they are DIRTY!!!! I'll see if i can get some pics on here somehow.
