Good Yosemite Green '40 Pasenger Car Picture?
 

Looking for a good size picture of a Yosemite Green '40. Search got me some pretty small thumbnails or a color chip, but it's still hard without seeing a full size picture. Commercials not useful as seems they are pretty common but so different. For some reason there are vast examples of Cloud Mist Gray passed off. Acadia green is not a candidate as my coupe is a bit early as 11-'39 dates on the windows and other indications... Is that a sentence? I'm concerned the trendy black will go out of style. Thanks: Fred A

Never seen three SO different shades of green in my life!!! 1 & 3 look close to each other BUT 2 looks more to the "Cloud Mist Grey" side.

Same thing happens with Cloudmist Gray.

You will never know the tortures of hell and how much money the color green has cost us on our V8 project. I just leave it at that!!! Throw Washington Blue, Tacoma Cream and 32 "gull grey" in with this too!!!!

Ok, you are dealing with the lighting when the photos were taken, the color capability of the device taking the photo, the resolution of the image as posted, the color capability of the display device, etc. No way you will ever get true color with these type of images.

I'm with rockfla. The olive hint from the green coupe goes fab with the parts on my coupe. Knocks the black right off my palette. I know the varied conditions will make a big difference in the color. These are great examples. Thanks: Fred A

Sorry Fred A, I'm grumpy. Photographs will always lead you in the wrong direction. No matter on paper or on your screen. WAY too many variables to use this to do anything other than say "That looks good on this screen/print."

And even color chips are ink not paint so they are not always 100% correct. Speaking of over 40 years of collision repair.
