What color is this?

[DougK]

Hello, I'm new to the group. Question I'm hoping someone here can answer - my '68 was originally red and was repainted to this "aquamarine" color by the previous owner. They didn't know exactly what the color was but thought it may have been a factory color in '67. In the sun it definitely looks green and in the shade or dusk/dawn, the blue stands out. Anyone know what it might be from these pics? Thanks in advance!

I'm no first gen expert, but I found this page.

If you click on the X inside the color chip, it opens a picture of a GM car in that color (same colors used by many divisions, just under different names).

Meridian Turquoise?

Thanks for that DynoDave. I poked around that site and I'm thinking it's probably Mariner Turquoise from '67

Great color! There's an MIFB (this site and facebook) Meet & Greet coming up. Same day I'll be at the Pontiac Oakland Club International (POCI) Chapter #16 Michigan Widetrackers (whew...catching my breath) Dust-Off at Golling Buick GMC.

Later in the summer is the Trans Am Nationals for all Firebirds in Dayton, OH.

I hope to see your bird at one of these shows, or another local event this year.
