Understanding Solera Awning Roller Fade Terminology

Question:

I am considering Solera 18inch Projection Window Awning Roller - 42inch Wide - White Fade w/ White Weather Guard Item # LCV000335002 and Solera Replacement Awning Fabric for 15foot Roller Assemblies - Black Fade Item # LCV000334383 When viewing the online images, the fabric seems to be the same style color and color graduation, yet one is called WHITE FADE while the other is BLACK FADE. Are they indeed the same fabric color and graduation? I seek to have both styles match.

The fades of the Solera awnings like "black fade" mean that when the awning is rolled all the way up it looks black and then fades to white. So the Solera 18" Projection Window Awning Roller # LCV000335002 is indeed a white fade but the awning fabric part # LCV000334383 is actually a black fade. To match you'd instead want the # LCV000334385.
