Default paint colors?

I am going to paint the 71 a different color than bridgehampton blue.
I like the 64 silver blue and I saw one tonight and it may be a little light.
I have the 71 vette registery address and I would like to know what the other registery URL's are for the years 65 to say 73

Can anyone help me with this?

I can't help you with that, but I saw a pic on here of one in Electron Blue (03 color). It was stunning, and my second color pick. If you're looking into more than just 65-71 blues, see if you can find it!

I had the same problem ......choosing colors ,specifically corvette orig.colors. I got tired guessing so went on ebay and bought color sample pages. At first I bought 69,70,71 pages then I wanted them all. long story short .I bought 53-90 whole books all years and models,foreign & domestic. I now am a seller of pages... guess what pages go for the most money. 69,70,71 dodge,plymouth for cudas,chargers,challengers etc. I save all the corvette pages for corvette people.

Great site for color numbers but to choose a color would not recommend.on a monitor color way off about 3 shades dark. even the chips in your hand are dark. plus it is nice to know if they mixed the right color. most dont check. I once painted lemans blue and after I was done a guy with a car painted lemans blue said you shure that is lemans blue? well I checked the chip at the paint store 3 shades light. In the paint world if you paint it you accept IT ....
