    which white is right?

    My 1958 Thunderbird shows a "B" color amd is listed as a WINTERSET WHITE" but Dupont books show this as a blue. The Ditzler color charts show this as a WINTERSET WHITE and a code change in August of 1958 to a "E"which is called a "Colonial White". Dupont books has the mix formula for the Colonial White, my question is are these two the same color?
    I would rather use the Dupont brand but the two color charts from Ditzler do not really look the same to me.
    Has anyone out there already crossed this bridge that could help me?
    Appreciate the help.
    Thanks Bill

    Winterset White, color code B, was replaced with Colonial White, color code E, in August 1958. http://automotivemileposts.com/paint1958tbird.html

    Color code B was Kingston Blue in 1960. That is probably the color chart you found. There was no color code B for 1959.
