Hey guys, just got in to this thread. Currently restoring a 68 HO Windward Blue. Spring color with the chrome bumper. What confirmed my color was the build sheet. Thankfully the guy I bought it from had it as well as the original window sticker. Thing I got out of researching these spring colors were that they contained a little more metallic and had a color shift to them in different light. Windward Blue in the sun gives off a tealish color while at night it showed more darker blue. The carnival red, imo, shifts orangy to red. Just my thoughts. I ordered some rattle cans from a online provider and painted some color cards which were almost an identical match to the original color on the cowl. PS the car was repainted in the seventies a stock color and a close match but not it. Posting pics if it helps.
