Spring Colors (late) 1955

[bhambulldog]

Questions about the color of my Roadmaster come up from time to time.

The color code is BFF. B=Dover White/F=Colonial Blue/F=Colonial blue.

The Blue repaint is an exact match of the original dash board color. And , the original trunk lid interior color

F=Colonial Blue is not found on 1955 paint charts. For 1956 F=Cadet Blue.

Apparently

the spring (late 55) name for code F was Colonial Blue

the 56 name for code F was Cadet Blue

Then in '58 the name for code F is again Colonial Blue

The formula is Code F on the '56 chart (code F is Code F)despite the name difference
