Hi, I need help in the identification of color found on the car, pic attached. It's a medium green with hue of blue.
This color is not in the '48 paint chips.
Will someone please help in the identification?

In the US Freedom Blue was a 1947 color. The car could be solid Freedom Blue or two toned with a lighter Ozone blue lower. Freedom blue would be best descibed as a medium dark blue.

1948 has LAKE COMO blue as the upper color, a much more metallic medium dark blue and Dove Gray as a lower lighter light gray color, a stunning combination. There was no US light blue color,

For two tone cars the factory painted the lower color first and top color last bringing the lower color slightly above the top color at the belt line with very little over lap. .

I just had my 48 painted with the original colors of Lake Como Blue on top and Dove Gray on the bottom. My son is a professional body man and did a wonderful paint job on it. It is a beautiful combination. Now to put all of the chrome back on it.
