What color blue is this?

Can anyone tell me what color blue this is? B5 is darker than this, right?

It is hard to tell due to the lighting sometimes, but that does look more like EB3 than EB5 to me. Original EB3 AARs are pretty dang scarce - only one known so far. Is it a repaint? Got a link to the ad?

My guess is B-3.  We went around Carlisle last year looking at blue cars and different shades of blue.  Nice AAR!   :drool:

I'd have sworn that was B-2 until I looked at my chip charts. B3 was the lightest metallic blue offered in 1970 and the even lighter B2 came out in 71.

B5 is a medium metallic blue. It's what came originally on my 73 Chally before I ground it off and you welded in new, shiny steel!  :smilielol:

Is the paint code on the fender tag? I always though mine was B5, but now I'm wondering.
