What color green is my coupe

[lookin-backtexas]

My 1930 Tudor has a similar paint job which I applied myself in 1972. The lighter green is Kewanee Green and the darker green on the top is Elkpoint Green. That's the car in my avatar.

My Victoria is Elkpoint and Kewanee but I prefer to think of it as the color of money. Lot's and lot's of money.

I'm assuming the pictures are to be viewed RIGHT to LEFT, as the car was made proper.

I've never had much luck with the Prophet system. It gets you close but I've had to spend time at the mixing bench further tweaking colors by eye to get an exact match.

I've always wondered how we all know something is a particular color. Scientifically, we would all receive the same wavelengths of light, but even after taking (surviving) neuroanatomy, I am not convinced that we "see" exactly the same thing. No way to tell, but I just wonder if your visual "exact match" would really be mine under the same conditions.

What is clear is that I need more to do today.

mike i can not add anything you said it all
