I have looked over both the technical section here and the color section on Wolfsburg west's site.
This is what I have gathered:
Paint: L436 Indigo Blue
Wheel Center: L437 White Blue
Wheel Outer: L438 Rim Blue
Upholstery: Water Blue
Headliner: Light Grey
Door panel: Water Blue or Steel Grey
Sunroof Top: Indigo Blue
Carpet: Anthracite Grey
Armrest: Steel Grey
Assist strap: light Grey
Floor Mat: ??
Steering wheel color: ??
Gear shift and brake lever color: ?
Seat frame color: ?
Steering column tube color: ?
Grab handle color: ?

Here's a photo I grabbed off the internet.
White steering wheel,
Black mats,
White column,
White gearshift and brake lever,
White frames,
And I don't think 1960 models had grab handles.

That's a good start. Wish I could see the column better.

GREAT INFO GUYS! Thank you! Both of those bugs posted have different steering wheels. Which is the correct one? The half circle horn bar or the straight one?

Crap. Looks like I will need to get a new steering wheel.

Oh yeah I remember, I just sold a 61 vert. PITA horn. I kind of want to just yank the whole column and do it like every other bug, but I doubt my OCD will allow me to.

My daughters Indigo ragtop had the stripped wool interior. I found a source for it in Germany, so for the mere price of $165 a square meter....feast your eyes....
It is an exact match. Must be the OEM supplier...amazing.

How many meters is it going to take to do the whole interior?
