What's the deal with the 33-1 red? The PP1 looks awful dark. Is that color chart misleading? I do want it a correct factory color and i'd like to use the brightest red the car was available in.. Did a 68 Bee come in that 33-1?

33-1 is a "Spring color" released late in production the following year it was called " Performance Red" & is a very Orange Red... The color chip doesn't do PP-1 justice it is a very intense blood red... Jim's Hemi Roadrunner pictures do a good job of showing the PP-1 color....

Most of the colors on that chart look to be much darker than they should be. PP1 is pretty bright and heres a pic of my RR1 Roadrunner to show how dark the colors are on the chart are.

The monotone paint code PP1 is the same "typical" (non-metallic) red seen on many '66-'68 Mopars.
For Dodge, it appears the new for spring '68 colors 3 & 6 were Charger ONLY!
These colors became R4 & F8 respectively in '69. Attached stolen from Hamtramck-Historical.
