Show us the fender tag? It won't guarantee what is on it now, but we can tell you what it was.

How

Trust me, it's original. I'll make the reveal when the time comes. Looking for opinions at this point.

Thought interior colors and exterior colors were synonymous. Can you show me an "Interior" color chart? Regardless, looking for opinions and yes I realize monitors and video cards are different.
Just looking for the experts "Opinion".
Trying to have a little fun with this.
Voting buttons above at the top of the thread by the way.

Thanks Wild, so what is your opinion? Did you vote?

1968 Plymouth Data book probably has your answer.

Thanks. I know the answer. Looking for opinions, that's all.
They are so close I thought it would be fun to see what you guys think.

I think the color chips on the page are deceptive, I knew a guy with a UU1 68 Coronet it was a lot lighter blue that the chip shows...

Oh hell yes they are deceptive. Antique scans can do that. It also depends on how many coats of the base color is applied. Thanks for contributing. I just thought this would be a fun exercise of the eye.

The answer is U. 13445 is the same Number code for the exterior and on the interior paint code chart.

UU1 and DD1 are exterior paint colors and style for the body with the roof and body being the same color.

U and D are codes for the blue paint.
U is used as an exterior and UDF color.
D was never used on the UDF, just as an exterior paint.

(UDF = Upper door frame from the fender tag)

The tag I posted the roof is black the body is black and it is 1 color. So they use BB1.
A black car with a white roof would be WB2. Is says this on the chart bottom right.

You are correct sir. What I learned from your response was that D was never used on the UDFs. Interesting.
Also interesting is that the poll above is still pretty even.
This all started yesterday when I went to my PPG supplier and ordered some 13445. He began looking in his data base and asked if I was sure I didn't want 13360. He spun his monitor around to show a couple of chips and they looked identical. I told him I was sure. I got to thinking about it on the way home and thought it would be fun to see what you guys thought. Hopefully somebody will find the above info valuable in the future.

Be careful of the paint store people, they are the authority behind the counter and mix paint, but they don’t know our mopars.

The paint store person tells me that the first digit on the paint code doesn’t mean anything. 1969 and newer had the 3 digit code on the tag and broadcast sheet.

So take DY3 cream and GY3 curious yellow. The First digit is the year it came out. So D=1968. And G=1971. So if she ignores the first digit what color will she mix? The paint store person would have you believe these are the same color because the first digit doesn’t mean anything. I had her look both these mixEs up for the years and see the color difference, she was perplexed and just dropped the subject and moved on.

Another great example is B5 blue. It first was a standard color in 1969. So no your 1968 or 1967 blue mopar didn’t come factory with B5 blue on it.

Well this B5 blue color has 2 codes EB5 for 1969 and GB5 for 1971. They changed the color, it’s not the same code.

Comparisons. When getting ready to paint the Charger, the painter had 1967 GG1 sample spayed on a plate, also 1968 GG1 beside it, definitely different shades. We were lucky to compare to the A pillar and firewall behind the brake bracket.

That G green is a tough color to match. Is the 67 to 68 mixing formula different? Or just your mix they sold you?
The spray methods make a huge difference in how that color comes out. Air pressure, how thick of coats, how thin or thick the paint is from reducer etc. I’m sure you are no stranger to these ideas.
