Did you ever figure out what the original color was?

AFA Jade, Mango, or Ceramic? I like Jade the best. Mango is too trendy and Ceramic is somewhat 40's like.

That said, if I were going to do a color change on a '60, with interior to match, and stay within the 1960 color range, no question it would be L41 Black with True Red Cool

I rubbed out the inside of the glove box and I'm pretty sure it's original was Flint Grey.
L41 is a cool color and I agree about Mango.
