    '62 Roman Red Seatbelt webbing choices

    Y'all can file this one under impossible requests, given the vagaries of trying to infer colors on a digital pic on an uncalibrated monitor on the internet, but here goes:
    I sent a set of buckles and tongues to Ssnake Oyl for restoration and rewebbing, and received a quote that includes 3 samples of red webbing, #1 - #3, left to right in the pic below. Having never seen original red seatbelt webbing, does anyone have any sense of which sample is closest to 'right'? My bias would be #3, as #1 seems too orange, and #2 has too much magenta in it. What do people think? Thanks for entertaining what is at best an educated guess, since my guess is the least educated one here.

      Rob--
      I pulled out a couple of original sets I have (not nice enough for a show car)---it was wise of you to lay those on your red seat so that one can compensate for the vagaries you mentioned.
      Definitely NOT #2.
      A slight nod to no. 3 over no. 1--originals do have a hint of orange ( I checked where they've been wrapped around the hambones since 1962 and never seen the light of day since).
      Hope that helps.
      Mike
