MG MG Y Type - Green Upholstery colour?

Folks, Y3348 is at last in primer and ready for painting. This is my dear wife Joanne's all-time favourite car, so the choice of colour combination is hers. We're leaning towards a nice dark green exterior - there are plenty of variations of "Dark Racing green" etc. out there - but the tricky one might be to find a green colour for the interior trim, but with (Cream?) piping.
Would anyone know of any photos on the interweb, showing green interior in a Y type or similar period vehicle??
All advice gratefully received. Regards, John.

Some people say a Y-Type in a single colour is a bit drab, so.....

A L SLATTERY

Or maybe one like this .....

You could also scroll through the cars in Y's on Parade to find a colour you like for the exterior.

For the interior, you will have to settle for what your trimmer can get.

Cheers

I have sent you some photos of my YB with green/cream upholstery by email.

Tony - I love the dark green exterior in your second photo - would that be Mr Spall next to the car? I'd like to find out the paint brand, code etc. if possible.

Mike - thank you for proving how superb the green upholstery with light piping can look! Again, any chance of some info on the colour used? Very much what I'm thinking of, mate. Kind regards, John.
