Andalusite Blue was available for many body styles in '28/'29. It is a very dark blue, almost black. It looks black when not well lit.

I have a 1928 Tudor which I was told was painted Niagara Blue, Dark. I've since begun to wonder whether it is actually Andalusite Blue because it exactly fit the description you give. I have had no luck finding the formula for either colour and I have a "repair" to do. I think it is because the colour is so dark that the hood and fuel tank were painted black in error. The car looks OK in poor light but in the sunlight, the difference is obvious. Other paint formulas I have tried from American sources and met with blank looks here. I think that is because different companies use different methods and maybe because they are so old that no one knows them any more. Any clues on what I should do?
