Does anyone know if the same cabinet wood tones were used on 76 and 77 palm Beach and elegonza interiors? I did a few searches and it looks like the same dark tone was used on a few models after 74. Is that the case?

Thanks

Light colors were used on the birchaven, and lighter colored cabinet woods
in the G.M. built coaches. Coachman upfitted Royale coaches with eastern
walnut veneers. I don't think that they used any stains. I have sanded my
face frames and door and drawer fronts to remove water stains, then sealed
them with third cut shellac, uncolored, then sprayed a couple of coats of
clear satin finish polyurethane. Followed up with 1000 grit wet or dry
sandpaper. It is a very close match to the cabinet color existing elsewhere
in my coach. Just what I did.

So I guess my question is can parts from an elegonza be used and match in a palm beach? Or did each trim have its own wood color
