Why does that Tobacco leather above look nothing like the color from the official pics?

I thought that this color was Tobacco? I'm confused.

Suprisingly almost all cars have lighter color headliners to prevent the 'cave' feeling. It is just so much more noticable on Black interior vehicles. Of course you get the darker grey Alcantara headliner with the Sport Package. Go to your friendly local BMW center and get in both and see what I mean.

I can see their point there. My 330xi has black leather.. The whole interior is black, and the only wood available on the E46 330 was the Myrtle wood, which is very dark brown. The interior is already somewhat cave-like, so I appreciate the lighter headliner.

there is no camel color in the product guide or any official release. where are you getting that? all i see, and was given the option of ordering, was: sand beige, gray, tobacco, black.

This color appears to be saddle brown not tobacco. And saddle brown is not being offered in US.
