Differences between tan component colors

I am trying to add a coded 8K75 "Buckskin" wood/leather steering wheel to my 2008 E350 and am having a difficult time matching colors for the airbag and steering column cover. The car has 8N14 "Landscape" components but that color is too dark. I have found 8J06 "Stone", 8K49 "Perle" and 8K67 "Buckskin" on some parts that look close in pictures but don't want to spend money on the wrong colors. Is there any nomenclature cross reference that might show the different hues? Tan, beige, brown are all seemingly interchangeable on eBay with widely varying colors. I think I have located a steering column cover but not an airbag since there doesn't seem to be any color codes on those that I can find.

Thanks to anyone who can help. Here is my two tone tan interior and the Landscape-tan colored wheel and cover that I am trying to match to the lighter tan dashboard.

Two tone tan and... darker tan interior

two tone tan steering wheel and column cover vs tan dash components

Thanks. The steering wheel ad is 10 years old but the part number may be useful. Thanks for the datacard.

Absolutely. Thanks. Wish I could find one that isn't trashed and isn't expensive. I found a couple that were cheap but toast. And a couple of new ones in excess of $2000. So I will keep looking for an airbag that matches my A2194602203 8K75 wheel. Does your EPC work that direction?

I had a hell of a time finding a good one for my interior which is the same "BROWN" color per the datacard.
I finally snagged this sport wheel after looking for about 6months
https://www.ebay.com/itm/07-08-09-W2...72.m2749.l2649

I believe the closet color name I've found is Sahara Brown. Our interior color goes by Tan/Beige/Brown...yet they are interchanged erroneously all the time. The lower half of our interior is beige, but the upper dash, wheel etc is NOT beige, its specifically a brown color. Harder to find...

I thought about Gambling on this one, wetsanding the leather and dye it...but never time these days for new projects:

Here is a picture of the one I happen to snag. It is almost perfect, no wear, no cracks, which is why I went ahead and took a risk. But it needs an airbag.

Well after three airbag purchases I finally found one that matches. Anyone need a Buckskin colored airbag? I have an extra and will be posting it in the classifieds.

Well I found a unicorn. The exact part number you referenced in excellent condition. But since I no longer own the black & tan E350 I am not sure what to do with it. Konigstiger, any idea what the black thing in the middle is? It looks like some sort of frahm damper and has part number 3058010 on the cover.

Actually not. The control module mount is molded into the rubber for these. This is the thing in the middle. Solid metal chunk suspended by the green rubber/silicone bumpers.
