Does anyone have a modern paint code for 1969 buckskin interior used on the dash? Not ditzler

The original DuPont code was 9622L. That still should be useable.

Lots of people doing '69 Saddle Tan interiors use the SEM vinyl spray shade "Bluebird Brown" for the darker brown areas (dashboard & windshield trim).  The SEM shade is a bit darker than some original cars were, but it's close enough to fall within the range of variation from the factory.  

There is also a SEM shade called "Saddle Tan" but it's not close enough to any of the shades on a '69 Mopar.

I now know what the difference is between the Bluebird Brown and the original color. The original color doesn't have a drop of brown in it. I pulled the actual 1969 DuPont Lucite recipe card for  this color before I posted above and it is a cocktail of white, black, red, and yellow. Looking at the SEM color in the sun and the original, I see the yellow and red highlights in the original. The SEM is brown with a sort of reddish highlight. It is close for sure. But not the same color. The SEM is a better match for the pads and A pillar plastic, which were never the same as the metal parts.
