...they (GM) chose the "interesting" color, for the seats and other interior trim pieces? You would think that they would have or make a (dark) green- or even black. Maybe the D.O.D. chose it. Maybe it was one of those low(est) bid contracts.
What do you think (or know)?

This topic has been covered in great detail (a 4 page thread).

I searched for "maroon" and this was one of the first threads displayed in the results.

It fades into a nice subdued brown after a couple of decades.

Hi Clinto,
I had a feeling that this might be covered. I will enter "maroon" in the search.
Thanks

that color is not maroon its on the build sheet as bronze, the GM color that they are calling maroon is actually called Dark Maple if you have an automotive paint store close by they can match it for you they have the charts its special paint for vinyl and upholstery. Scott O&O
