Factory interior colors?

Did a search to no avail. What are the factory color options for an 88 tbird interior? So far, I know of or have seen dark blue, red, darker grey, and tan. I got an interior from an 87 XR7 light grey. I've never seen a light grey tbird interior. Could this be a Cougar color only?

I've got the Cougar colors listed here:

Second digit of the trim code on the door tag will give the factory color, which in 1988 were...
B   Shadow Blue
D   Scarlet (aka "Porno Red" LOL)
G   Smoke Grey (aka Medium Grey)
K   Cinnabar*
P   Light Sandalwood*

*(not available on XR7)

According to my 1988 Thunderbird book, all those colors were also on the T-Bird, along with Raven Charcoal.

guy had an 87 XR7 for parts, so I stripped it bare. the rear "sail?" panels are shaped for the cougar quarter window, and the rear carpet w/speaker grills are too. So I'm looking for the light grey pieces in the tbird shape. I have TC dark grey(charcoal?)panels w/little lights, if I have to dye them, I will. Currently, my bird is porno red, but it's rough, scratched, and dash is cracked.

DO you need any "Porno Red" parts? I have a nice Red interior I took out of my '88 Cougar. CHEAP

It's out there, I had a '87 Sport that was battleship grey both in and outside... Not sure if the grey was still aval in '88, don't remember seeing one...

Most of those pieces were in the back of the '88 base I sold Rob(Warbird9) last year.. Guessing he may need them, as the panels were a bit rough in that car...
