Default 94 Accord Interior Color Issues

So I have a few broken interior pieces on my 94 Accord LX, Blue, 4 door.

Welp I tried going to a junkyard to get these parts, then I tried ordering aftermarket, theeeen I tried ebay. With varying results.

Junkyard issue: already all taken or broken
Aftermarket issue: bought blue one, got an ugly brown one
Ebay issue: wasn't the same item pictured, even though the seller was highly rated

So I am going to Honda and buying it from them, specifically MajesticHonda.

NOW I run into another issue: no part number for the door handle, interior?
Here's a pic of the door locks, no interior handle part number in sight.


Well maybe the door trim section will have it? Nope.


Furthermore, I can't find out what the color code means, my "int color code" on my car's sticker is a "G". It is a blue car outside, and blue / light gray interior wise. I know the handles should be blue, but what about the other thing I need, the coin tray? It should be light gray.


It's there this time, part number 30, but the only choices of color are:
Silky Ivory
Grace Beige
Excel Charcoal
Jade Green

Ivory is tan, Beige is tan, Charcoal is dark, and green is uh... green.

Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Currently I have brown door handles and a brown coin tray.

Are you using your vin when you are looking for parts on majestic? In the first pic the interior door handle is 16/38. Incidentally charcoal is for the 'b' interior. G I believe is actually ivoryish. Use amazon for you aftermarket trim parts, at least you can return stuff if it's wrong. Other option is to remove the parts in question if you still have the originals and see what is stamped/casted in the plastic or metal parts

Didn't see that on the door handle pic, thanks! Are Honda OEM parts better than aftermarket? The ones i got are pretty shoddy, e.g. if you tighten passengers side switches up, they bind and become inoperable.
Ivory eh? So there aren't two color codes for the two different colors? Just 'G' stands for blue/white, and the part determines the actual color? That's nifty if so.
I do not have the original sadly.

It seems that "DARK JADE GREEN" is the dark blue that goes on my car, and as you say, ivory for the coin tray?

Oem is always best with these cars preferably in terms of mechanical consumables. However when you have a limited budget aftermarket will do, but there is always the potential for it to not fit 100%. I try and get stuff from the recycle yards because in most cases it's sunfaded enough or worn enough appropriately to match my car. I'll say I did get the driver interior door handle off Amazon and it matches. Fit was a little off but with some manipulation I got the pull handle mounted correctly. I have a wagon with a b interior and most of what came to my fave yard is usually a g interior so it all varies with what's local
