i am considering to paint my 66 in this color too
so incase you know the color code (th number-code so the painter can make that color ) please let me know
the paintdshop doen't know what to do here with just " Brittany Blue Metallic" i think
btw.. is that an original ford color from 67 ?

It looks a bit lighter than any other Brittany Blue paint that I have seen - seeing how it also has Porsche silver stripes I would imagine that the painter mixed a little bit of that Porsche silver into the blue paint before shooting the car. Think so???

I remember seeing that picture a couple of days ago and it said that it was Brittany Blue, but you can never really be sure. Good luck.

i guess hte nice blue sky and the fact that it is "just" a picture can have an effect on how the color looks on the picture.
guess have to check out the color in real

i found a table which claims the PPG code (whatever this is) for that color is 12843
further search on PPG code gives
http://www.ppgcarpaint.com/

and search for that code on that website gives your result:
http://www.ppgcarpaint.com/paints-by...hPPGCode=12843

So you might be able to purchase that colour off them ... Maybe every other proper painter can mix it with this information.

The colour of the car in the picture might seem more shiny/bright than what you get when painted as it's standing in blazing sun light.
same with my car. midnight blue metallic. nice shiny blue in the sun. in bad weather or cloudy nearly black
