Name of This Interior Colour?

To me this is the ideal interior. It's Mulliner (?) and this colour.

Any hints on what the official colour name is?

Thanks.

Saddle, this is the color designation on mine which has the same appearance as the photo.

Thank you.

What is the model year of your car?

Any other details you can share?

Saddle was offered in different model years. A search online using the terminology model year plus Bentley Continental interior colors brings up the different options.

If you go to your dealer with the vin number the can check the build sheets for your car and give you the information.
My 2008 GT Speed has and interior that looks similar to yours. It is hard to say from pictures because different monitors and lighting can make the color appear different. My interior is cognac and burnt oak.

Agree with you Gene. I have the same color (I think, for the same reasons as Gene). I have seen saddle, tan, cognac, etc.

All of the options and colors should also be on a sticker, usually found under the spare tire cover. Here is a pic of mine. However, I haven't had luck converting "99" into any interior color name.



I've been able to find a description for all of the option codes online just googling VAG build codes, but no joy on the 99 interior color.

A shot in the dark: could 99 be the stitching and seat style?

I have a 99 also. Bentley has a few colors that are so close together it’s almost a headache trying to match them up.

Sirrich's looks closer to the original post than TeamJones. That one is darker/redder, which is the colour I'm after. Seems 99 saddle is the general consensus.

A 2008 Continental GT Speed seems to be what I'm looking for.

Thanks all!
