So, I have been told by some of my family members to not paint my 31 Sedan Special the original green (paint code 79). They think it is not as good looking as the blue ( paint code 76). I like the green, but I would like your opinions. Which do you like better? The attached shows the choices.

It is always best to paint the original color. That preserves a bit of history. Changing colors like wives seems to be searching for a fleeting fancy to me.

Also for those who don't have the info...

Ember gray is actually a strange shade of green to my eye.

This excellent website:

https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorc...1&gncl=Green&con=yck&rows=50

also classifies the color as a shade of green.

To view the colors on the above website, turn your screen brightness all the way up.

I can at least attest to the accuracy of their representation of one of the colors (Brewster Green) and would think the others might be pretty accurate as well.
