In terms of color I think I agree with you.

Overall I like the Richmond Designs chevron cloth a bit better. I found the texture and sheen was a closer match to the original than the RadioDaze cloth - at least for my 29CSX:

The Radio Daze cloth looks good too (I used it on my 116X) - but is more of a matte sheen and a bit thicker:

Also just to throw it in - an earlier discussion about Philco chevron grille cloth:
