7990 is the interior trim code. The leather seats are, Arena, which is a lightgrey/pale beige sort of colour.

S40 leather seats
Hi, having reconditioned all four seats, in my opinion there is only one supplier worth their salt. GLIPTONE. Address: Unit 9, Waverton Business Park, Saighton Ln, Waverton, Chester CH3 7PD Phone: 01244 888658. I went to the original business premises in Todmordern, Lance, before they moved, and the guy there came out to the car with a shade card and mixed the right colour on the sppot. They use dye and not paint. They also construcy a refurbisment kit containing various other bits including leather "food" and chromate additives. Gliptone are expensive, but they are the best in the business. I have no idea how they operate now, but I suspect that they are as professional as ever. Most Cassic resto professionals use them on their prestige cars.
