Default Re: Is This Balsam Green?

Gary, car was repainted in late 50’s in the lighter green shade prior to my Dad buying the car. Paint underneath does look like Dawn Gray. I looked up color on line, why ford named a greenish color gray is odd. Also close to Vagabond Green but not used on open cars in 1929. Benson, I took these photos with an LED work light. I can definitively see how the color can change with different type of lights and conditions. Jim, your pics of the Balsam Green Phaeton is a great example. Gentlemen Thank You for your inputs, John

Oh, the pic of the firewall paint I took a DA with a mild abrasive compound to see if it would change tint.
