    1960 Cascade Green Paint Color

    I am hoping someone can answer some questions about this paint color:

    - Does the Cascade Green color on the 1960 look close to the original as delivered color in 1960 ?

    - Does the Cascade Green color on the 1957 look close to the original as delivered color in 1957 ?

    - The colors seems very different. Should they be more similar ?

    I think your pictures represent the difference of the two years color of cascade green very closely. The 1956-57 cascade green was more of a light smooth mint color, while the 1960 green was alot darker and contained quite a bit of metallic if I remember correctly!

      Neither one looks quite right to me. This website has some color chips on it to compare.

        John - the 1957 paint chip doesn't have Cascade Green. Is another name Surf Green ?

          That's probably because their listing for '57 only cites two pages of the catalog. Flip back to '56 and you'll see more than just the first two pages of the catalog with the Corvette paints called out on page four...

          It was reasonably common for Corvette to distinguish itself from other passenger cars by have SLIGHTLY different colors/hues with correspondingly different blend codes. For 1956 Cascade is Ditzler's number 712, blend code 41973.

          Due to the lack of data for 1957, you can't confirm/deny from the website data if there was a running change in specific blend code for Cascade green between 1956 and 1957....
