I had a 61 lark in Autumn Haze. I have never had a car so hated by my family as it was due to color. The sad pert for me it was a Cruiser with 19K miles. I did not keep it as family happiness is more important. I liked but oh well, glad we are not all the same in our likes/dislikesMilt

When Milt points out that the car because of it's color was hated by his family, I know what he's talking about. It is virtually always the women, and an occasional persnickety man that hold sway when it comes to color. It can be the most beautiful car in the world, but if it's the "wrong" color, it will always be disliked by some in the family.
I like the subject colors, but then I'm a sucker for a nicely done car, in a color that is seldom seen. It just seems to me that the existence of the color, on a car, adds more completeness to surviving history. Pictures seldom do justice to the concept.

Don't let the nasty Earl Sheib green repaint deceive you, according to the Production Order, it was factory painted in 1958 colors of Canyon Copper & Jewel Beige.
