Factory leather seats in "Dark Saddle" are actually really light tan?

I am in the process of ordering a 2021 Rubicon.

When I use the configurator the 'Dark Saddle' leather seats look great. But all the pictures I have seen they are SUPER bright tan leather and look absolutely nothing like it.

Can anyone confirm I am looking at the right things?

Edit: I used MS paint to match the color swatch on the configurator versus an actual picture on google.

I think the best response would be..
It looks like right when under the sun. (most of the time)
Looks like left when under the shade.

My Jeep has tan leather and my brother’s Gladiator has the saddle. There’s definitely a difference between the two colors.

Definitely not as dark as the Dark Saddle from the 2008 Grand Cherokee that I loved.

Yeah I saw it in person this weekend. I don't know what person made the configurator but the leather is not even close to a true dark brown saddle in person

Is it possible the seats are meant to develop a darker patina over time? Beginning closer to your image on the right but ending up something closer to the image on the left?

I have the dark saddle. It is very close to the color of my baseball glove.

They look hideous! Your really should swap to my black Rubi seats. I'd do it straight across even.

I have it and it’s a really nice color and it’s a lighter dark brown not light in anyway.. I am super happy I did this instead of black
