Color ID?

[hedotwo]

Can anyone help me figure out what 65 Chrysler color this promo is?  I have to admit, I can't think of a worse color.  My camera made it kind of pinkish brown, but it's acutally more of a real pale brown that just has a touch of pink in it.  My guess is sable brown poly.

Thanks!

My guess?

Either "Sierra Sand", or possibly "Sand Dune Beige".

I'm thinking  Sand Dune Beige, as I believe Sierra Sand was an Imperial color.

 

 

 

 

In all honesty, I don't mind the color!

But then again, I like weird colors.

 

I often prefer "unusual" colors for my projects, and while this may have been a fairly common color for a car of this vintage, in the model car world, everybody always wants "flash", which in turn frequently makes common colors uncommon.

 

Personally, I'd go with it!

You might be surprised once you get it all dolled up with foil and a nice contrasting or complimenting interior color.

By looking at the chips you posted the color I have sure looks like Sierra Sand, if the chip is accurate.  I went to chrysler300club dot com and they have a color chart for 300's from 55-65 that shows Sierra Sand available.  Not sure if they're accurate or not either.  Either way, I'll give some thought to leaving it as is, because it really is in good condition and polishing will really finish it off.  But...  there are three bad sink holes in the trunk that I'd hate to leave without filling and if I end up repairing and having to paint, I'd choose something other from the 65 colors from Scalefinishes.  Thanks for the input Steve.
