Default 91 Yellow

Rarely post but have played with these cars since they were new. I seem to recall 91 Yellow being a shade different than 86-92 “35”. Anyone else have information on this?

Paintref.com is a website I use to find the factory paint codes to provide my paint store with so they mix the right shade. They show 91 as Indy yellow with a different code from 92. 90 also had a different name and paint code as well. So I would say yes the 91 is a different shade.

The yellow from 1986-1989 and 1991-1992 Corvettes were available in "Yellow", color code 35. 1990, 93-94 were listed as "Competition Yellow", color code 53. As a note about the Competition Yellow paint:

You are correct, I misread and was thinking OP was referring to Competition Yellow..... But, for 1989 my book does not show Yellow (35) as an available color. And '95 & '96 were also available in Competition Yellow (53).

In any event it sure was "pretty"!
