Am I the only one with a Blue interior?

I have a 2006 lAcura RL.
I need to replace some of the interior trim but I have a blue interior.

All I can find is Tan Grey, and Black.
Even on the Acura parts diagram.

I checked Ebay for armrest covers and the same thing.
Tan, Grey or Black only.

I searched this site for blue interior and the only thing I can find is blue interior lights.


What gives?

You must be. No RLs came from the factory with a blue interior (aside from the mood lighting blue LEDs).

Everything else that is blue must be done aftermarket.

Anyone up for bets the OP is talking about the door sills and hasn't realized the blue plastic isn't supposed to stay there?

Can't really tell at night. I put my glock in a couple of the pics for contrast. You can see the headliner is light grey and the glock is black. The seat is obviously neither.


I will try to get some pics in the daylight tomorrow. If tan,Black, or grey are the only factory colors I am guessing mine would be black. It's definitely not black though.

I had a corvette with black interior before this one.
I parked them next to each other because I was comparing the leather.
The vette was definitely black. Compared to the vette this interior is not black.

If you look in the first picture, my gun is black and my back deck is black.
The seat is not. This is the lightest ebony ever.
I have Halley Berry interior.

Maybe I need to get my eyes checked. lol

Yea graphite, carbon, charcoal would best describe the interior. Especially after its aged. But blue was a good one

@ Halle Berry interior and I'm bummed you actually don't have blue interior.

As others have already said, that is definitely the Ebony interior. It may not be black black and more of a light black or charcoal, but definitely not blue.

Just for comparison, now THIS is what I call BLUE...

I think the issue with your interior lies in the fact that there is a thin coat of vinyl covering the material. Some of the material is real leather, and some of it is "pleather". However, all of it is covered by a thin layer of vinyl that is intended to protect the material. It seems like your vinyl hasn't been taken the best care of and is fading. It also appears to be reflecting a glare that makes it look less black.

Here is a well maintained black RL.

That is how mine seems to be. The dash is definitely black. The seats look dark blue.

OP, like everyone else is saying your interior appears to be grey/charcoal, maybe a re-dye is in order. I would bet that your car was left out in the sun and the interior was never cared for.

I would be willing to bet the car didn't have tints or a garage for a long period of time.
