Re: 1940 color question
The 1940 Ford Yosemite green is a very dark green color - much darker than Acadia green. aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i60j0j69i57j69i60j0.9132j0j7& sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8&hl=en-US#imgrc=2C_C_prQDQuMCM

Re: 1940 color question
I'll take your word for it. I guess they have to be seen in person. To my eyes, the 39 Merc (yosemite) Is much lighter than your Acadia green truck, or the photoshopped fenders on the 40 standard coupe. When I go to RockFla,s albums and find 3 different pictures of his 39 Mercury. Each shot is showing a different shade, ranging from very dark, like you say, to the medium green colored car he posted on this thread as an example.

Re: 1940 color question
Looking at the 39 paint chart I think that the paint color on the 39 Merc is Tropical Green.
http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/chipdisp...d&info=&page=1 It looks to be in between Cloud Mist Gray and Acadia Green. |

No Expavr, the paint on the Merc (Body) is orginal, the fenders we believe have been repainted. It is original Cloud Mist car!!!

Re: 1940 color question
Light, temperature at the time of spraying, humidity, type of gun, paint mixing machine, and 78 years of sun and weather. They all effect the chroma of the color. Plus the eye of the beholder too.
