How close is Parchement to Natrual - looking for a new set of floor mats

[Derek A.]

Natural colored mats are no longer available from BMW, only Parchment. Given my carpet is 22 years old I am sure its probably not its original color anymore. Does anyone know how close these colors are?

I know that the leather isn't even close in colour. I have a photo here somewhere of a parchment and a natur headrest side by side if you want me to dig it up.
I managed to find some new old stock natur mats about two years ago. I think they may have come from eBay.

Natur on the left, Parchment on the right.

According to the ETK Natur was only made in E34s up until 09/90 and after that Parchment was the Tan colour option, so you might want to double check you trim codes if your car is "only" 22 years old.

My build date is 2/90 , and I confirmed the interior code. The question is will new Parchment mats look ok in20 year old natural carpet.

Can you return them if they dont match? Unless you have a show car I wouldn't imagine it would make much a difference. There is always the black option.

Here are a set of used Parchment mats in the Natural car. Color is pretty close, I am happy with the results.
