Color name for this 35 Ford?

[Rick51]

Does anyone know the name of this color? The previous owner thought it was a '29 color when repainted in 1974.

Blue. The devil made me do it. Walt

Wrong .... its Green. But what green? I was looking for a PPG number. Still trying to get this back on the road. It's been sitting in a garage since 1993. It ran last Saturday around the block about 5 times until the radiator blew (not from overheating).

It's not the '35 Vineyard green.

Looking at the Ford Book, it looks like Med. Apple Green for 35 & 36

Might not even be a Ford color. Most if not all Auto paint suppliers have the ability to match an existing color. That's your best bet to match it instead of guessing from a digital picture that varies in color from computer to computer.

When the car was painted/restored in 1974, the shop probably used colors frome 1974 vintage cars. The car and wheel colors are not 35 or 36 Ford colors. The stripes in the bumpers should be black. The dual horns indicate a deluxe car, so the windshield frame and grille should be chrome. Its a nice looking car, so unless you plan to restore it to "As Henry Made It", leave it as is and enjoy it.

Thank you all for the comments. I will take the grill up to the college for matching. My plan is to do touch-up and drive it.

Maybe rock moss green would be close.
