The Diztler color codes are listed at www.AutoColorLibrary.com. You'll need to use the pull downs to locate the color chips for your year.

Oh yeah.... and your engine bay should also be Turquoise.

color match

thanks guys i think i have got the color correct with some sample pots, is the interior color ie/ the column and defroster vents, gearshift bucket under dash panels have the same color as the outside?
Indian Turquoise?

And the sample pot for the roof is a really creamy offwhite color?

id really like to see if someone has a actual picture of my color combo,, i have seen the old prints from the manuals but they do not look brillant

cheers Tony

Colonial White is a creamy off-White color.

The column and gearshift bucket and underdash panels are the same color as the interior , not the exterior. The defroster vents are an impregnated cardboard. They are brown or gray.

Thanks Alexander, what is the color of the interior then ?
i am trying to color match both in inside and the outside

The color pot i have for the outside is a vast difference to the interior color It appears to be more blue in depth?

help???

What is the trim code on your car? The best color match for your exterior would be a turquoise and white vinyl interior. Though a dark blue/light blue may be possible.

This site has the interior trim codes:
