Hi, I have no idea where I found this photo and many thanks to the person who owns it and I hope they don't mind I posted this as it is BEAUTIFUL! -- What color do you think it is?

Color samples here...
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/paintcodestype1.php
Note that some of the color chips are horribly wrong, but many of the chips have a little camera image next to them, if you click on that camera image, you get a photograph of a real car, often with background so that you can see the true color compared to what is in the back ground.
Note that I see the Java Green for 1966, the chip looks almost black on my computer, hut upon clicking ont he camera icon, I see a nice much more authentic color on a real car. So use the camera icon for the best matching. Of course your computer settings will effect the color displayed.
It is a pretty car, but I am very partial to the Turkis color used in 1961, which is the color of my very first car, which I still own some 45 plus years later. My Dad bought it brand new, It was the first car I ever rode in too.

That is L360 Sea Blue for a bug. There is also a Sea Blue for the bus which is a totally different color. It is confusing.

Well shit, lol. We recently bought Sea Blue paint for my 67 bus. I wonder which one we ended up getting?
