Try this place out, it seems pretty complete. (Although I didn't find my 'brilliant blue' on there)

Check out Wolfburg West paint colors too. The colors of blue/green your looking for appear different at the web sites and are really are hard to tell from a photo of a car as they look SO different ( same car). The Best way Is buy/borrow a color sheet that has them ALL the same sheet to compare. From the 60's blue greens going from Blueish hues to really green : L- 1018 Brunswick Blue then L-519 Bahama Blue then the L-398 Pacific Blue then L-391 Pastel Blue then L-380 Turquoise . There are a few others in between there but those are the main ones.. I've got a L 391 Pastel Blue '61 Beetle . Oh I also had a Ruby Red '63 Beetle for 4 years (15 years ago) So I like your choices. P-mail me

For all the colors from about 1960 on, try www.thebusstation.co.uk. Sorry, don't know how to post a link just yet.
