new paint color chart

Does anybody know where i can find or view online a new color chart for late 60s olds. The only chart I have seen seems to be a scan of a 40 year old chart. The trophy blue on that chart doesnt even look blue. Thanks

A "new" online chart may not help you. Actually most of the 40 year old charts *are* accurate. It is the reproduction of the chart that is the problem. The scan and the projection of the scan (the monitor) all can alter the true color. You are best to get an actual paint chart.

I used autocolorlibrary.com to get a general idea. Then I decided to get an actual color chart which made all the difference. Even better to take the chart out in the sun and take a look. You can find the original PPG pages on Ebay Motors under Parts and Accessories and Manuals/Literature. They run about $10.
