'57 Thunderbird yellow

[DanR]

Can anyone help me out with the correct color for a 57 T-Bird? It appears to be a pale yellow, almost a cream. Also, is there a Testors or Tamiya match?

Here's a list of '57 T-bird colors. http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?year=1957&manuf=Ford&model=Thunderbird

Since you mentioned that it leans toward pale yellow/cream, I'm guessing you're trying to replicate Ford's Inca Gold.

I'd suggest starting with Testors Phoenician Yellow.
