Default Correct Repro Carpet Color For Midnight Green Interior

Can anyone confirm the correct reproduction color for the 1969 Camaro Midnight Green Interior?
I have samples of dark green, dark olive green, moss green, dark teal, and light green from ACC and none appear to match what is in the car. I know the carpet has been replaced before and the car is always garaged and rarely sits in the sun, so I do not believe it is faded. It all looks uniform, even under the seats, and seems to match the interior well. The samples just seem to be quite a bit off from the existing carpet and remainder of the interior.
Any help?
Thanks.
Bob

----You may have to dye a set of carpets. We have done it in the past for Corvette carpet sets. A clean garbage can and Rit dye and experimentation and it's possible!....

Hadn't thought of that possibility. I now see that ACC shows a much smaller choice of colors if you click on "year specific colors". I had not seen that link initially. It seems to indicate that Dark Olive Green and Moss Green are the only green colors for 1969. Dark Olive Green would be the closest to what mine looks like.
I wonder what most other people are using for Midnight Green interiors if it isn't black or ivory?

Dark green should be right or close

Agree - my Fathom Green Z had the dark green interior and used the dark green carpet .

Thanks for the replies. Do you guys mean Dark Olive Green when you say "dark green"? ACC only shows Dark Olive Green for a dark green color. It looks a bit off from mine, but now today in the sun I checked the swatch, and it seems much closer than it did in the garage.
Thanks!
