Can Anyone Name/Identify This Light Green Color?

[Dibbons]

I would like to find a paint chip/code of the color the U.S. Border Patrol used on their Texas vehicles back in the 1980's and before (when I was working there). Dodge, Chevy, and Ford patrol vehicles all were painted the same shade. Thank you.

Hey @Dibbons is that an International scout? Pretty cool!!

Looks like a fleet color mix. Are those US parks vehicles?

The parks vehicles and the Border Patrol may have shared the same color.

Have you tried contacting the Border Patrol museum? Looking at a few cars, it looks like Federal Standard 595C 34325 to me. Fed. Standards would be the colors used by Government agencies.

I tried to email the museum and got weird windows popping up "not authorized" or something like that.

This looks real close: '78-'80 Dodge Truck "Teal Frost" & "Mint Green" are the same paint codes/different names. DT7857 (Chrysler) 3019/3147 (Ditzler/PPG) 45124 (Dupont)

Keep in mind. Those old colors used back then , are probably so chalky now from sun fade.

Yup that's where I found that. 34350 also looks close. @Dibbons If you have FB, try sending them a message on there. I read it was called Department of the Interior Green, but can't find it by that name anywhere. Maybe it was an internal thing. I wouldn't bet on it being a fleet color from Chrysler, Ford, etc. From what I read it was used from the '50s to the '90s. That's gonna span 40 years of different vehicle manufacturers. I would bet it's something like this Dupont Fleet Book color 63703-

On that Dupont 62073, it comes up as a fleet color from 1969 on PaintRef.

I sprayed a cement companies fleet trucks in that back in the stoned age. I knew it was a fleet color. But 45 years of stiffing paint takes its toll on the memory.

Those above could stand a little polish!

In the bicycle industry that was called seafoam green. Comes and goes in popularity. Right now its out.

I used to call it locker room green.
