  View original topic: Beige Grey? Paint question

I have a 67 Bus that is a light tan or beige color (original paint). I was looking in a book that had paint samples for a 67 and they listed a beige grey color. The sample did not look like my bus but it was the only beige they had listed for that year. I did a gallery search but could only find two tone buses with the beige grey paint. Does anyone have a photo of an all beige grey bus so I can get an idea how it looks?

Is there a modern paint code for this color that anyone knows of?

Probably L345 or L87. L345 is darker. L87 is alot whiter and was used on early bays too, I think.

So you have a single tone Bus that is tan?

Maybe it's Light Grey - L345.

Here is a photo I posted in the gallery before I removed the green and white aftermarket paint:

The color looks beige or tan to me. Can someone help me determine the actual color?

It looks like Savanna Beige or Sea Sand but those are Bug/Type 3 colors.

The M code plates is 414183 so if I am reading that correctly it was light grey top and bottom with mesh grey interior.

Maybe it is just me but the grey looks tan/beige to my eyes.
