Steve, B9 was avail on the full size cars. Not the intermediates

 

Intermediates were B3 light blue metallic , B5 medium ( or sometimes called bright blue metallic) , and B7 Dark blue metallic

 

In some literature the colors are referred to as Poly instead of metallic

Mopar -  the higher numeric number on the code = designates the darker the color is

 

That 68 is probably EE1 , also a very dark blue ( I just restored one in the exact same color combo for a client last year )

 

In pictures EE1 and either B7 or maybe even B9 will be hard to tell apart unless looking at them  in person . But trust me, they are VERY different if applied correctly

 

Also, in regards to color availability . NONE of the exact same color tints avail in 1968 are the same as what was avail in 1969 ( its one of those weird  Mopar things )

Ok Bill, I believe that you know more about this subject than I do.

I was just noticing that the chip chart above says, "Dart, Coronet, Charger, Polara, Monaco" with no mention of any exclusions pertaining to the Chargers.

Many times these charts will have asterisks by colors that were only available on particular models.

Ive seen those exclusions on SOME sheets.

You will also find there are paint chip sheets specifically for the body styles the paints are avail for . It just seems to be kind of random

This could be what you're talking about.

This sheet specifies some colors as "Dodge Only" which I assume means that it was only available on the full sized Dodges.

B9 Blue is one of them.
