Stock 1940 Ford Colors

I found a site that lists the stock '40 Ford colors and wondered what the difference was between Claret Maroon, Garnet Maroon, and Mandarin Maroon. Any photos that show the different colors?

The three colors are very similar and vary by mfg. Mandarin Maroon is the most common on the cars and looks the best in my mind. It is hard to tell the difference in photos.The one on the left is Garnet and the second one is Mandarin.

 

Here in the order you listed, Claret Maroon, Garnet Maroon, and Mandarin Maroon. Bill aka Tnomoldw

Hey, I like the color of your car there, man. What’s that supposed to be? Sorta a cross between Piss Yellow and Puke Green, ain’t it?
John: Well, you call that a paint job but it’s pretty ugly. I’ll betcha you gotta sneak up on the pumps just to get a little air in your tires.

Found this shot of Garnet Maroon...I like it.

 

if you are choosing a color for your car, buy a small amount of each of the colors and do a spray out. put the color out in different lighting. if you don't want to waste the paint use it for the first coat or an underside that will be hidden. manufacturers all seam to mix old colors a little different so it is good to do a spray out.

 

would those be the same for 1939 Ford ?

 

Here are the '39 colors from the same site, but the "Bright Coach Maroon" chip looks wrong...
