Old Gillette lining colour

Hello everyone.
I would like to restore some Gillette Single Ring boxes.
Do you happen to know what color the lining of these boxes is, possibly the international color code? I found it somewhere and I don't know where it would be cardinal purple.
I apologize if I posted in the wrong place.
Thank you
 
Thank you, but what I want is to purchase a material to replace the damaged lining from Gillette Old Type boxes. For this I need the color name or the color code for the lining of a Gillette 460 set.

I seriously doubt any current codes or names will apply to a material from over 100 years ago.
I took a sample to a fabric store and came close when I did one -- Windsor in tan/brown felt.
It wasn't the beautiful purple you're after @sambadi65
