Replacing headliner

I have a 1984 trans am. Its Dark Brown Metallic with Dark Brown interior. The headliner is shot and I need to replace it. I found the replacement headliners, but there are so many colors to buy I want to make sure I get the right one. Everything I can find on my car says the interior for this color is dark brown. However this isn't an option for a replacement headliner. There are a few that look like they might match but the color samples are so tiny its hard to tell. Has anyone run into this before with a dark brown interior? Is Dark Briar Brown the right one? Just wanted to see if anyone had any insight on this before I spend 200 plus shipping and have it be the wrong color when I get it.

Re: Replacing headliner

You can do what I do and ask for samples of the closest colors. I had a piece of my headliner left over (an unfaded piece) and compared it to the samples. It may not be an exact match, but it can be close. I needed flame red for my headlienr and the only place that sells that color is yearone, but it was $100! I went with carmine from 1aauto. Good luck!
