Mint Green vs. Tropical Turquoise

Post by Broncotom »

Does anyone have pictures of trucks painted in those two colors that I can compare?

I was originally thinking my truck was Tropical Turquoise but now I'm thinking its Mint Green, I'm missing my data plate and there is only the upper portion of the cab that is still the mystery color.

My 66 was originally the holly green and white before Dad repainted it in the late 70's. The interior metal is still holly green, but the column and steering wheel are a turquoise color. As far as I know, that is how it came from FOMOCO.

I have seen lots of Slicks with a steering column that is a similar but different color (usually lighter).
