Year: 1985, it's a base regal
It's says:
31L 25m 31U
27B (this is what I really need). AM6 (I onow that's the split seat)
 
27B is interior trim combination. Blue color. 31 is exterior color, Olds called it Teal Blue. Also known as dark blue. The 25 is the mid color, I think it's light metallic blue, but could be wrong about that.

Do you know if 27B is dark blue interior? I see it come up a few different ways, regal blue, dark blue, some have said other things, I'm trying to buy some new door panels and order the correct color. They're faded to hell after 40 years lol. It's my first gbody so I'm learning as I go
 
85 Regal dark blue interior, not very pretty, but it's code 27-

I stole this from buickturboregal.com, but it pretty much covers G-bodies in general as far as designators. There is a code letter that signifies seat belt color, but can't recall what it is atm. The colors may change to protect the innocent, but pretty much here's 1984, and 85-87 model years:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buick Interior trim codes are identified on the trunk SPID label and they always start with two numbers.

The first two numbers are the basic color and the third will denote what part of the car the trim code is for.

For example on a Regal Grand National the code 82I means the medium gray basic interior color with the I standing for Interior and the code 82C which is for the seat color and material type.

1984 Interior Trim Codes

22 Dark Royal Blue
67 Dark Briar Brown
77 Dark Maple
42 Medium Gray Fern
60 Light Sand Gray
61 Medium Saddle Tan

1985, 1986, 1987 Interior Trim Codes

27 Dark Blue
43 Medium Sage
62 Light Saddle
79 Dark Claret
82 Medium Dark Gray

Codes ending with the letter I denote basic interior color.
Codes ending with the letters B-C-D-E-G-H-J denote cloth and vinyl door and seat trim
Codes ending with the letters N-R-V-W-Y-Z denote all vinyl door and seat trim
Codes ending with the numbers 2-3-4-5 denote leather seat trim

Any other codes on the label are to be considered internal assembly plant codes and have no significant importance.
