I bought a low mile 69 GTO from the original owner that was Warwick Blue with Parchment vinyl top and Parchment interior. Both were original to the car and the car was always garaged. It was featured in a Muscle Car Review article back in the early 90's. From what I remember the sales order called the white vinyl top Parchment though it was not of the same "sheen" as the Parchment vinyl interior. I have seen a lot of reproduction seat covers that are not correct in color. Some have to much of a "pearl" look to them. The headliner was also a shade "whiter" than the seats and did not exhibit the same "sheen" as the vinyl seats. The headliner and vinyl top are not made from the same material and may not have been made by the same company therefore the difference in color and appearance. Parchment interiors for 69 always had a black dash, console, package tray, kick panels, and black carpet on bottom of door panels. Do not confuse the Ivy Gold color with Parchment, they are too different colors. Also Ivory White is different than Parchment it has a more "bleached" white color. Ivory was used in 71 and later I believe for interiors. I noticed you are comparing convertible top colors with Cordova top colors. They have a different pattern and material that will reflect the light differently and affect what color they appear to be.
I currently own a 77k mile 69 Lemans with Parchment vinyl top (original), Warwick Blue exterior and Medium Blue interior.
