We generally recommend casting a wide net - but know, you are going to have to work at this! First, find a paint chip that matches your toilet - and carry it with you to do matching. There were many many different variations of these colors around. Then stalk: Your local ReStore/Habitat for Humanity and craigslist -- so that you can go see what you are considering to buy. You can also watch: deabath.com, historichouseparts.com, ohmegasalvage.com ... and there are likely others. Good luck. AnnaB, welcome.

I was originally going to order one of these color match kits, but they are so expensive. That's why I went with the ones on homeclick.com (only $13.60 each!). The seats I got are by Church, and they do the 94 color kits, as well as Bemis. Bemis owns Church, so I think they're the same (the kits look the same in photos!). Anyway, nancyb posted that she got one from the Bemis color match kit. She said "The seat I received blends very well with the toilet, although it’s a little light", so maybe I didn't do too badly after all! Yes, I’ve seen it.
