Paint color

I'm restoring a '70 W31. The original color was blue. Do you know what the color code would have been for this car? I think Viking Blue was too dark, but not sure. There is no cowl tag or color code anywhere on the car. Thanks

You can all ways check out color samples at auto color library. Just input the era and make.

Do you mean to say the data plate shows no color code?

I have a paint chart for 1970 along with a few other color charts on my site.
