<VV> more on identifying that paint color

[Frank DuVal]

Marina blue is slightly lighter than Nassau blue. You can see both on 
the same chip page here:

as for 66 the Corvette still used Nassau blue.

I would GUESS that the two blue cars in your first picture are: 
foreground, Mist blue and second car, Nassau or Marina blue depending on 
year of the second car.

Of course people change colors, use non-code colors, use "shelf paint" ( 
mix several cans together of different formulas), etc. So go to a show 
and ask questions of the owner for best results.

We also owned a 66 that was a lighter blue then I am looking for.... very near silver in some light conditions.. I'm looking for more blue then that.  I am not looking for the turquoise that has a very definite greenish tinge... is Artesian Turqoise greenish?
