Mid-year colors?
Is there a website that shows the colors that were available for 65-67 Corvettes? I've looked but haven't found anything yet that displays the colors even close to what I know some of them are. Maybe it's my computer monitor, I don't know.
Thanks!

Thanks guys. I have the color names and production numbers from the Black Book. What I'm looking for are actual sample color chips, especially the 3 blue colors for '67.
Take care,

Thanks guys. Got 'em bookmarked.
Ron, I think you're right about how the colors render on a computer monitor. I was trying to compare 1966 Trophy Blue with 1967 Elkhart Blue. They look the same to me on my computer. Maybe I should try to look at them on a CRT instead of a flatscreen.
Take care,

For most folks, colors "as delivered" are close enough, for those in the photo and similar businesses a color corrected monitor is an absolute necessity.
