need help with paint! What is seafoam green?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by flatheadfever, Oct 1, 2010.

  1. I decided I like sea foam green.
    I need some paint codes or year and make of OEM colors so I can do some test panels.
    I found 61 ford mint green but it a little dark for what I want.

    Can I get some suggestions on different versions of sea foam green.

    I have a light gold flake roof and I trying to fiure a color to go on the lower half, so far gold, dark green, med green, bronze and now sea foam green. Any suggestions???

    I know mercury and lincoln used it in the late 60's. get one of the masters to photo shop some of your colors so you and us of course can check it out.
     
  4. I used a ditzler gold flake and it goes very light colored in the sunlight and darker at night. driving me nuts figuring out the right match. The gold base underneath looks good in bright sunlight but way too dark on a sharp angle.
    I do know lots of people have way better tastes than I do when it comes to color matching!!

    There is a mid-60's Corvette color that is like that too.
     
  7. The green on US Forest Service trucks has been described as "seafoam" green by some. That's the factory color my '67 GMC Suburban was, and I was rather fond of the color, and the truck!
     
  8. I had a 54 Buick special with a minty green like sea-foam green.

    There is no one Sea Foam green per say. It runs in shades from a light mint green to a darker shade close to a Teal Green. I have even seen some that look more like an olive and some that appear to be a green-blue yet still called Sea Foam green.

    My 2003 Accent has what I call a "Seafoam Green" on it and I really like it.I will say one different, but very pretty color to me is the '57 Chevy dark "Teal"!

    You don't see it on very many cars so it really stands out.

    The full custom '57 Chevy called "CheZoom" was painted with it.

  23. Studebaker had a few Seafoam Greens. You might also try Guitar Reranch - Fender had a Seafoam Green for their Stratocasters. The Lark here is shown in differnt light - sometimes it looks almost blue.

    I have seen some VW "New Beetle" convertibles in the last 5 years with special old retro VW colors. I am thinking one of the convertible colors was like that green.

    I recall seeing a 69 Charger in a sea foam green that looked right.Check out auto color library.Just my 2 cents
     
  29. I saw a great seafoam color on what looked like a new Ford F-150 the other day. I'm planning to go with a nice seafoam/minty green on my '58. That's probably why I noticed it.
