Funny that I was looking for color ideas (Originally it was going to be 1957 Porsche Stone Grey).... and the 1940 Ford Pickup color of FOLKSTONE GRAY popped up.... but like the TEAL colors on restored GM 50's cars --- there's 700 shades of them - from light to dark. That particular original color - when you search for cars using it - runs from a light tan to a dark gray and everywhere in between.
Mostly what I decided against -- was anything with a green/brown tone in it.... I want it a bit more modern.... "cleaner" if you will. The guys at the shop picked out several and had them there to look at and they had added some tint or whatever to make it "better" / or "worse" if you're name starts with a "C" like Crap or....
