my first car when i was 17 in 1987 was a cal-look 66 beetle in Ford signal yellow.....its a really bright colour.....man, i thought i was the shit!

Ford Chrome yellow.

 

I used to work for a Massey-Ferguson Tractor Dealer....My '49 Ford was M-F Industrial Yellow.....THAT was YELLOW! Centurion9

 

corvette millenium yellow

 

International Harvester School Bus Yellow. I went through several color books to find "just the right shade" (for me)

 

I got on a roll back in the late 70s early 80s and did several cars in GMC Wheatland Yellow. Then did a repeat when I did the NSRA 30 Ford RPU giveaway truck for 04. All of them had some shade of red interior.

 

85 Corvette Yellow

 

I had a new Camaro in '67 that was Butternut Yellow. The color code was "YY" for cars without vinyl tops. Cars with vinyl tops had "Y" as the code followed by the vinyl top trim code instead of the second "Y"

I always like that pearl yellow Mitsubishi had on some of their models some years back, like on the 3000 GT. Not super yellow, but they all looked like Himsl painted them!

GM Holden had two goodies- 'Absinthe yellow'- mid 70's
& Of course 'Warwick Yellow'- '68 Monaro colour
Also love the yellowy color of DePaolo's Deusy which won Indy in '25.

 

wow.... any more info???

 

The ford stang color is called Canary yellow

 

Volkswagon Rally Yellow (1980s) is brighter than the Corvette yellow. Doesn't have the green tint like the Corvette.

 

Commonly referred to as Ferrari Fly Yellow

It's a very strong yellow.

 

Thanks for doing this thread. I have been looking for a yellow that would look 50's on my 40 Ford pickup. Maybe with a white interior or a creamy white. Got a couple ideas now.

 

OT Boat... Early vintage Wooster Hellion built in the Rubbermaid factory in Wooster Ohio before it burned down. Done up in "Moon" yellow.

I took the big "Moon" sticker to my paint store and asked if they could match it. They ended up having to order a color base in an intense yellow color and then mixed it straight up with no additional toners.

It doesn't quite match the ink on the sticker, but it is close and I like it.

PS: It looks way closer to the first shot in person...

 

My vote is always '73 corvette yellow

 

Golden Age Gee Bee Z Yellow, isn't the most yellow but to me it's the prettiest! Especially with red/brown pin stripe between the yellow and black. Interestingly enough this is a rendition as no photos are known to exist of the real paint scheme ................

 

This is one I had in high school, right after it came out of the booth. It was 76 Corvette yellow, the brightest yellow i could find at the time.

 

damn,! can i be your sister too?????? dig that bug, and i really love that color! damn, now im rethinkin my colors YET again!

 

PPG DCC4736 Chrome Yellow

 

77 Corvette yellow...... painted in the 80's

 

Sorry, brightest I could find.

 

I too had a hard time picking a good yellow for my 34 coupe. The mid 70s corvette yellow has a tint of green in it and all of the late model colors are more muted. Very different seeing a newer yellow mustang and looking at the paint on a test panel. I chose chrome yellow from ppg which is a straight toner with nothing added. I don't have the number it has been a while. I used acrylic urethane and it is very transparent, with a light gray primer or sealer the final color has a green tint. I had to use a white epoxy sealer to get the yellow to stay yellow. Opening the can under flourescent lights in the garage and it looked peach. Here is my frame, not bad for a garage paint job eh?
