Experience in what sense ? F8 was a very popular color back in the day. We used to joke in the garage if it's Mopar, it must be green.
I’ve never seen F9. It may be Chrysler or Imperial only. It looks darker than F8, almost black. I’d prefer that as the original color on my Charger. But I’m still set on Plum Crazy.
F9 looks like baby poop with spinach. 
Right you are. Chrysler and Imperial only.
I know there were other colors that only were supposed to be available on the Chrysler/Imperial cars. I think in ‘69 there was an exclusive silver. But I think I remember a ‘69 road runner that had a 999 code and got it.
There's a dark silver that was only available in the Chrysler/Imperial line. A9 was the code.
That’s the one.

toolman , are you sure that is f9? i’m thinking at low light it would view as black , till the sun hits it ….
Yep. 99% sure. You can see the green in the front end shot when the light hits it. I got the photo from FCBO. My 1969 Imperial LeBaron

Actually 67 and 68 GG1’s were a different shade. The painter had the two colours side by side on a sample piece of metal. We stayed with the 67 GG1.

you may be right, ........ but there tends to be a lot of variations of all these old colors.....they were all single stage, as opposed to base/clear; so the formulas are completely different....... plus variations between manufacturers back in the day
I'd like to see the original 67 and 68 formula from the same company in a side by side comparison

Our local dealer sold one in that color to a customer who used to trade every three years. Beautiful car, with a red leather interior.
I bet that was stunning!
