Grey M3 leather vs non-M3 leather

I've got a grey leather interior in my car, I was thinking about getting M3 front seats to put in there. I found a couple sets of seats on eBay, but I'm not sure if its my monitor, the lighting in the pictures I've seen or what, but it looks like the M3 leather is a slightly different shade than the leather in my car.

Will it match?

Color wise It might be a little different not forsure but the texture will be much different, the m3 novillo leather is very smooth, the regular leatherette or even Dakota has texture, it's a great upgrade tho, m3 seats feel and look awesome. It's just up to how OCD you are about the texture. When I had a 335 a long time ago I got m3 front seats, (black) I was in love with them but the difference in texture made me replace my entire interior with the rest of the m3 interior.

They are not the same colour unfortunately. Standard m-sport is Jade grey. M3 seats are called palladium silver.

Hmm. I don't have the msport package, just the regular non-sport seats. Still jade grey?

EDIT: just looked it up with bmwvin it said: LEDER DAKOTA/GRAU 60 (LCAD).
