The original paint chip booklet publication No. 1531 states the original Dutone Colours and Trim combinations for my car are:

Healey Blue and Ivory White
Black and Colorado Red
Florida Green and Ivory White
Colorado Red and Black
Ivory White and Black
Primrose and Black
Pacific Green and Florida Green
Pacific Green and Ivory White

As most of you know, I am painting the car Pacific Green over Ivory White. I know the best source for the Healey paint codes are from Don Pikovnik's out of stock book on Healey paints. Luckily he posted the codes on his Coloramic Process website... https://www.coloramic.com/articles/hlyclrs.htm

The code list for Pacific Green had a factory code of GN.9 and the ICI code is 2659.

My question concerns the Ivory White. Pale Ivory (ICI 3487) is yellowish, and thier are two different Old English Whites (ICI 2122 & ICI 2379). Which one is Ivory White?

Thanks

I would think any of the two would be okay. However, I would like to talk you out of the Pacific green color. I, like you became enchanted with that color before I chose otherwise. After seeing a Healey up close in the Pacific Green over white I really didn't care for it at all. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I think you might be dissappointed. Sorry, I hope you understand. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nopity.gif

I like the Pacific Green as shown in the COLORAMIC PROCESS, INC. Book. I have seen several shades of the color that are called Pacific Green from those that are more blue than green, and also, far too dark. I like the deep green turquoise, especially in the two tone.
