Dash Sill Color

[PbFut]

The PO replaced the dash pad with a black urethane version but half-assed the install leaving a few speed nuts off the upper studs. The sun warped the pad at the studs making for an unsightly wavy mess. Looking at the dash sill under the pad up to the window base is a finish that was the same as the original gauge cluster panel and glove box. It is a sort of mauve color. I have changed the dash and glove box door to wood. The sill needs refinish but I am less than happy with this color. Has anyone used the ochre color on the sill? Does it reflect too much given the glossy finish? Other suggestions for color? I plan on using a saddle color pad. Truck is a 72 Ochre/White with a Sierra Grande trim level or possible Sierra as the bed and front fender is simply Sierra and appears original, but glover box says Z84 Sierra Grande equipped.
Thanks for input.
