Just trying to bounce some ideas off you guys for my 58 and color choices. Im still undecided on what color im going to use. I have a handful of colors im fond of but unsure about some.

I really like reed green, bahama blue, and i was also looking at a picture I came across where a car is claiming birch green but im not sure how accurate that is because it seems to be more light and mint colored then what im seeing when i search L511. The car will have some patina left on it so i feel like anything that is in that light blue / green / mint color scheme will compliment the oxidized color range ( browns, oranges, reds).

My plan i was leaning towards was to use L466 silver beige for the steering wheel / column shift lever and E brake handle. I was also thinking about possibly having the Tins, gas tank powder coated to match but the more im looking at the color chart im almost thinking It would look better for the tins and the gas tank to be done in L87 Pearl White

Looking for opinions / suggestions

Here is that color example i found that is listed as birch green how accurage is that ?
