55 Stude colors?

[Orestudeguy]

Looking at a freinds production order for his 55 Stude wagon, it says it came from Calif assembly plant..
Came as a two-tone paint job..
The colors were "Encino-Shasta"

I know what color it is now..
But what colors was it then?

Thanks,

Here are the colors from the Inside Facts book. Shasta is a white, but I think it has yellowed with age in my book.

Dick, I appreciate Mike offering up my site for a reference but when it comes to color's that is something I haven't added as of yet [B)]. But who knows maybe someday. For paint chips that are from the factory color's I always defer to this site for now.

That worked great, Randy...here's the chip set...

The Shasta White (note that they spell it Chasta here) is whiter than Len's faded set.

How strange, NONE of the two-tone colors shown on that original PPG color clip page included Shasta White! There must be more combinations continued on the back or the next page!

I know I have seen lots of '55's with white as one of the two tone colors! And this build slip in question is one of them.
