Re: Mercury Green
Ford used the darker green from model A days clear up till the 239 era on V8 221 engines. The 239 went dark blue up until 1949 for the first passenger car 8BA engines. The 1949 255 8CM engines had the lighter green but it is only slightly darker with a slight bit of yellow tint compared to the deisel engine color that is currently available.
If you ever mix blue and yellow together you get green but the amount of primary color and tinting color plus a good eye for color will get the proper shade. Bill Hirsch's stuff was always pretty close.
