My votes would be :

Stripe for Blue car - White color to be Polar - with dot fade grahics.
(instruct owners to paint shaker 70 Polar White - its only thing exterior they have to paint white anyway.)

Stripe for White car - Blue to be Lucerne (or closest possible match) - with dot fade.

I was too young to be all over these cars when they were Day 1 new.

But to me its always looked like quack sh|t on todays restorations with stripe blue zone clashing with shaker and interior. It doesn't match anything. Maybe thats how they were back at day 1. Idunno.

But i seriously doubt the designers and stylists hoped for anything less than color uniformity/blend when they developed these things. Maybe the standard was never achieved. Or the standard was compromised/corrupted as later printings were made.
