Do your codes mean the colour is Aqua blue? Is that a pale blue-grey?

I'd be looking at third-party mat suppliers who cut to shape from patterns. I've bought mats like that in the past and they've been pretty good.

Given the various colour (mis-)matches in the interior I've given up worrying about this as long as they look OK.
After all, carpets are on the floor (and get dirty) so a slight shade difference won't be noticed.

I guess you could get a light one and colour it somehow?
Just one example (not a good one?): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Deluxe-Car.../190705102953?
There are loads of these suppliers and they just cut to a computerised pattern when you order and stitch the edges.
