Default paint and center console

Tried making it the same as the mocha two tone that came stock, but the paint dried nothing like the cap of the can looked like . Not really sure if i like it or not, but still looks better than the really light tan that it was, when i got it out of a 2000 expedition. The center console part with the drink holders, and the storage spot is being painted right now, and the side of the console on the drivers side looks like someone spilt something and it like bleached the side of it? Any idea of how to get it back to the original without painting it? Also I coverd the lid of the console with a fabric that looked like it would match the spray can, but doesnt match as well as i thought it was going to, and also the headliner is being covered with the fabric that is on the lid, just waiting for the spray adhesive to dry. Probably going to paint the handle to the glove box since its already some wierd darker brown, and maybe some parts of the door panels. What does everyone think? Give me some ideas!
