Seafoam green?

[jimmijim8]

Was seafoam green a Studebaker exterior color? If so, does anybody have a picture of a Stude in this color and possibly a current paint formula? thanks jimmijim

I think this 66 Lark may be seafoam green:





The photos appear to be washed out though - it should be greener than it looks in the pictures.

There was a guy in LA who had a seafoam green GT Hawk for sale in the last couple of months. I couldn't find any pictures though. It's the only one I've ever seen.

My wife's '55 E7 pickup is painted 1960 Stude truck green--forget the name, but that's the color we had matched up. She wanted a Stude color but didn't really care about it being from the correct year. The wheels are 1960 Stude Truck red.

I don't know if this is "seafoam" to you, but it's darn close to what I think of as "seafoam."

[jimmijim8]

Thanks to all. My friend wants to paint his Vespa scooter Seafoam, but needed a color sample to make sure of his choice. You folks is great. Yes you is. jimmijim

If Allan's wife's Truck is 1960 light Green, it is Oasis Green, an Avocado Green.

Seafoam is a 1956 color and Ellenore is seafoam and Glenbrook green

I can supply the formula if needed

It is an addiction!

[mbstude]

I thought it was Seaside and Glenbrook?
