1940 color question What is the correct color description for what I call Seamist Green, is it actually seamist gray ? Is there a Ford number for the paint color, or a later paint product # that matches it. Thank you Fordbrainers.

Re: 1940 color question I think what you are describing is Cloud Mist Gray. It was one of the 3 V8 (standard) colors. I am sure you could get it on a deluxe 40 if you wanted.

Cloud Mist Gray, or "green" to my eyes. Photo below. Is that what you are referring to?
The DeLuxe models were available in Black, Lyon Blue, Folkstone Gray, Mandarin Maroon, Cloud Mist Gray and Yosemite Green through the entire production. In April, 1940 a “Spring Color”, Garnet Maroon, became available for the DeLuxe models. Wheels were painted to match body color on all DeLuxe models The Ford V8 (aka "Standard") models were available in Black, Lyon Blue and Cloud Mist Gray through the entire production. Wheels were painted black on all Ford V8 models. However, as an extra cost option, the wheels could have been painted Lyon Blue or Cloud Mist Gray, to match the body color. DeLuxe colors, with the exception of Garnet Maroon were available on the Ford V8 models as an extra cost option. Beginning May 1, 1940 two special color combinations were being furnished. It appears these combinations were available on both the DeLuxe models as well as the Ford V8 models. Introduced at this time was an additional paint color, Acadia Green, offered only as part of a combination. Combinations offered were: Folkestone Gray body with Black fender and grille sides. Folkestone Gray body with Mandarin Maroon fenders and grille sides. Mandarin Maroon body with Folkestone Gray fenders and grille sides. Cloud Mist Gray body with Acadia Green fenders and grille sides. |

Re: 1940 color question Thank you all for the lowdown on Cloud Mist Gray, (green). That sure is nice looking '40 standard, and it's right on target with wheels painted to match the car color and black walls, just as the majority of originals came with. Right on target.

"Thanks for the great info, Kube! I am hoping some 'barners can provide some photos of the combination colors. I have an interest in the Cloud Mist gray/ Acadia green combo as a possible color for my 40 Tudor Deluxe."
My 1940 Tonner's paint color is Acadia Green. A clever photoshopper could probably pickup the Acadia Green color from a non glare area on the truck and swipe it on the fenders of the 40 coupe in this thread which would give you an idea of that color combo. I have to agree with Kube about the wisdom of doing that two tone combo on the coupe. Les Williams |

Welp, guess I'm the odd-man-out 'cuz I kinda like it. Course, I first got into old cars with Model A's so I'm used to 2 (or 3 or 4) color combos. :D |
