'72 Ember Gold vs '73 Honey Gold

[Charger1973]

Does anyone know how much difference there is in the 2 or maybe even have a color comparison?

Is that 73 you just picked up honey gold?

[Charger1973]

I think so.  Im looking at the Legendary catalog and it would be way cheaper to buy Ember Gold from what I can see.  This is my interior and the page im looking at.

For that price difference I wouldnt car I would make it Ember Gold

[Charger1973]

Its never going to be a show car, but I dont want the color of the seats to stick out from the rest of the interior either, so hopefully someone will have a pic of a 72 I can compare to.  Im going to call them too and see if they can send me color samples.

Are you comparing  '72 E6Y3 to '73 E6Y4? Y4 is darker.

[Charger1973]

Im not really sure what the codes for the two colors actually are.  The first one there kind of looks more like the parchment to me. 

[Charger1973]

I take that back.  After looking at my fender tag, I know my interior is H6Y4

[Charger1973]

So it looks like maybe im stuck with the higher priced seats because Y4 is a darker color than Y3, and since mine is Y4 most likely "Ember Gold" is Y3...

Charger1973,
GY4 is a light color almost an off-white/cream color.Honey Gold as of course you know is almost like a yellow,mustard-like-gold.
FYI Ember Gold is actually a Legendary name.Mopar just called it light gold.
Legendary can send you a sample of the color(an actcual piece of seat material)if you ask......At least they did a few years ago becuase I have a piece they sent me.

I will try to post a pic in a few days.............Read my sig below to see how I know these facts!

[Charger1973]

Thanks man.  Ill see if they can send me a sample but it looks like I am going to be stuck with the "honey gold".  I like the color, just not the price...  Maybe they have something other than NOS by now.

Seeing that interior was like a bad flashback. That's the color scheme I had before I changed.

Didnt like it?  I think it will look good on a yellow car.

Got to say, I didn't like it at all. The colors might have been slightly different, it's hard to tell in a photo. I think my car was originally the same color scheme as Goldfinger's.

[Charger1973]

I think it is slightly different between the years.  If it was tore up, I would just switch to black but I have so many nice parts that are already this color that it would be a shame to do that.  And it fits my color choice for the car anyways.  Plus...  I am getting rid of the A/C and black vinyl gets HOT in the summer!  All I really need to make mine look nice is carpet, headliner and seat covers. 

[71charger_fan]

I gave my console to Goldfinger (he did pay shipping), changed the dash, door panels, carpet, headliner, console, steering column and wheel, package shelf, kick panels, and sail panels to black. Then I reupholstered the seats in white. Now I can paint it any color I want. It's currently Plum Crazy. Before I move back to the U.S., I'm going to have it painted again, I'm trying to decide on a color. Too many purple ones around now, but I have a couple of colors in mind.

[Charger1973]

Black it is.  I decided I cant live with myself spending $900 on seat covers, when black would look better anyway.
