Interior pictures Cork vs Cinnamon?

Anyone have pictures showing the difference between Cork vs Cinnamon?

Cork........ I don't have Cinnamon for comparison, but maybe someone else will post that color.

Here’s my Cork interior. Note the grains on the door panels and rear seats. My front seats are aftermarket, disregard the color on those.

Those rear seats colour is sure close to my Cinnamon, I guess it has to do with the lighting.

Nice floor mats!

Our door panel colors look very different but I agree that this could be the pics. Cinnamon and Cork seem to be pretty close when looking at them back to back.

In person they are starkly different. Cork has a MUCH heavier grain and pattern to it and is darker/more orange than Cinnamon. The problem is you are relying on photos which is highly dependent on the camera, lighting, color rendering, filtering, your monitor, etc. Not to mention many people use the terms interchangeably not really knowing they are different colors. In person the difference is clear and obvious.

I agree. I was able to purchase a bunch of interior parts and were quite dark until I asked the seller to go outside and take his pictures there.

All true! And with colors in in nature (like cork interiors) the eye views reflected light rather than projected light. The pigments in the leather act as filters to the light reflected off them.

Same with painting a room. There is no way to translate a color chip seen in a store to what that color will look like on the wall of a specific room. Even with the sample chip in the specific room it's next to impossible. You have to put a fair amount of actual paint on the wall before you can start to judge how the color will change the rooms ambient light.

A useful tip when choosing a medium to dark paint color is to select the chip color you like and then go two to four shades lighter.

I don't know where things stand now, but when I was in the printing trade the industry had pretty much given up on trying to get monitors to match printed material for proofing purposes. From artwork to plating computers do an awesome job. But I don't think they replicate the final product well. The printing I encounter these days is pretty horrid, so I suspect nobody really cares what the final product looks like.
