<VV> LM Yellow GM antique color code is "Y"

Yes, the color code is "Y" for LM Crocus / Lemonwood / Butternut Yellow,
hence the question, "What other modern car uses a similar color that does
NOT require custom mixing?"

Custom mixing is about $20 per 8 oz can as opposed to currently available
colors at about $7 per can at local auto parts store if a current car uses a
similar color?

Haggerty may pay for custom paint if they are fixing my Corvair on a damage
claim, but this is coming out of my own pocket ...

Has anyone seen a late model car in yellow that does not appear to have been
used to dispose of radioactive waste?

Thanks!
Charlie
