Default Paint to match Parchment?

Can anyone help me with getting the correct paint to match my new parchment interior. Painting front and rear window trim, tops of doors. Thanks

Contact SEM auto paints. https://www.semproducts.com/
Or call Anne at SEM, 803-207-8213. She was very helpful to me.
I believe their parchment is a base with a pearl top coat.

I had a problem getting them to match my '68 dark aqua interior when I called SEM directly...so..IF you have that problem, call TCP Global. They carry the SEM products and were also able to match my original color code using their product. Worked great by the way. The key is clean, clean and clean some more to make sure that some old Armour All from the 80s is on anything. Fisheye city.

I thought that it was just Cameo Ivory paint and that there is no actual parchment colour. Unless you're trying to match it for your own custom look.

The paint that I always liked to match that color. Is a Ford color, the name Ford gave it was Wimbledon White.

The Pontiac color for vinyl seats in 66 thru 68 was not actually white at all. It was a metallic pearl vinyl and regular GM white exterior paint looks way to bright up against those door panels on a 66 or 67 GTO interior.

We just finally found the correct match for my car and its definitely not Cameo Ivory. Store manager is a friend and called Dupont, they were able to cross the original code for 1967 (which was used on a few years) into the mix formula. It's dead on. My car has always been indoors, low miles so fading wasn't an issue. The two upper metal tabs that hold the headliner have original paint (one coat) verified by lightly sanding and seeing the primer coat under it. Its semi-gloss not full gloss. The number will come up for a 87 Ford, but there is no disputing, it's the color.
