I have a '75 2.0 with a Cameo White Leatherette/53 Interior.
I am trying to determine the correct interior carpet color.
Any help and/or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post the question or if I have posted incorrectly.
Thanks

You're in the right place.

I've usually seen it with the very light tan or off white loop pile (velour) carpet. Of course they could also select another color like black or charcoal if they wanted.

Oddly, Jff Bowlsby's color/materials chart pix on his site don't include the white option at all, except for an interior pic near the bottom....

From a June 1975 magazine ad, but hard to see carpet....



There are a couple of members here who have or had a 75 or 76 with the white interior, & hopefully have some good pix of the original carpet for you.

Also look at the O&H nailed thread on interiors to see if someone posted some pix of it there.

EDIT - none at the above thread, but add some pix if you find them on here elsewhere. IIRC there was a member in MD, VA or thereabouts who had a blue/white one similar to that ad I put above, & IIRC he had some pix on here, but then sold the car. Maybe also post in the Garage Forum for other 75-76 owners with OE white interiors to post some pix for you.

The ones I've seen have a light oatmeal colored carpet, like this one:



or this one:
