It's definitely not a color for everyone, But thats why I like it.
It definitely changes hue depending on light.
The only time I thought NO WAY was back in '94 when deciding if we should stay with the factory scheme. All I can say is I'm glad we did.
It's nice when parked in a sea of RED at an event to stand out

Default 1965 GTO Reef Turquoise

My '65 Catalina 2+2 is Reef Turquoise with Parchment interior. Of all my cars, I always get many more questions/compliments at car shows on this car, especially from women. Many people want to know the name of the color and whether it is a factory color. Women consistently say they love it.

60's Stuff, it may have been your '66 GTO that inspired me to find my Catalina. I remember seeing a Reef Turquoise '66 GTO many years ago, and it was just a striking combo to me. I hung around with Phil Bauman in the early 80's and he was probably the one who pointed it out to me at some POCI convention, or via some photos he had taken, etc. I've been fooling with these cars since 1977 and never met anybody before or since that was more knowledgeable that Phil. Very sorry we lost him.
