Decoding interior seat color

I have a tan interior from a 1988 528e. VIN decoding gives me 0256. I found one swatch online but it shows that as red.
Anyone know how to get the associated color NAME that aligns with the code?
Also have tan interior in a 1983 and they are nearly identical in color. that code is 0165. Same question....how to find the color name.

thanks for those details. Pearl Beige is super helpful.
Crazy to think that someone would have changed out the entire interior in the 88 since there is not a spot of red in there.

I've done it on trashed interiors when same color pieces weren't readily available.

It's not as crazy as you might think, especially if you can get your hands on an whole interior in your color choice.
I did it to my M535i: Pearl Beige to Taurusrot/Anthracit.
