Color of carpet in an 82?

Hello,
I was thinking about purchasing new carpet for my car, I have a tear in the drivers side by the gas pedal. Well anyways, I started looking and came across Hawks web site. Now according to them maroon wasn't offered until 1990, but I have an 82 with maroon interior. Does anyone know or have different information on the interiors over the years. It seems as the more I investigate my car the odder is it. Any help is appreciated. Here is the link to that page. http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/carpet_
Thanks

The official name GM used for the maroon interior used in '82 was Dk. Claret; code 79. Thats all the info I have.

My interior is the same color. I notice Year One doesn't offer maroon in their 82-02 catalog until '90. I don't see dk claret either, must go by another name. I'm a little colorblind so I can't tell by the samples.

Thanks David,
I have seen a few dark claret pieces for sale on e-bay. They looked like they would match but I wasn't sure. That's good to know.
