(FC-7 north of the border is called 'ultra-violet'... "Inviolet" would be Plymouth's version of Dodge's Plum Crazy. I don't think it is a border thing.

Names From Big Brother and The Great White North. Some of the Canadian names for the HIP colors were different from their U.S. counterparts. For example, the code FC7 was Ultra Violet for Canada. FJ5 was dubbed Lime Green. Additionally, some also received corporate names such as code FJ6 was named Brite Yellow Green, FM3-Penta-Magenta, Ceramic Red, Purple Metallic for EV7, and Super Yellow for FY1, which was both a Canadian name and a corporate name. Weird, I have Canadian and US versions of the '70 Challenger brochures and I never noticed any differences.

I live in the Great White North and everyone here that I know refers to FC7 as either In Violet or Plum Crazy. No one here calls FY1 Lemon Twist "Super Yellow" Same goes for FJ5 and the rest of the colours mentioned in the quote. They are all referred to the same way as the Americans. The odd time you might here somebody call FC7 as Plum Crazy Purple instead of Plum Crazy. This is just a common mistake for everyone and I disregard it. This may be a prime example of fake news. Just because it is written down somewhere doesn't mean it is true.

Personally, I don't deal with info that was 'written down somewhere'...
True - we live in an age where "facts" don't need to be backed up. However, a little diligence will show you are right about the colors in Canada. I'd be interested in finding a dealer book to see if the naming was consistent to this brochure, or if it was reflective of the names in the U.S.

It seems for 1971 they went back to "normal," but look at this Plymouth brochure: Seems they're using some Dodge names for a Plymouth! I bet it was a lack of marketing quality control rather than truly having special names for the Canadian market, but who knows?

Don't know about the others. They look ok to me.

http://www.allpar.com/cars/production/plymouth-canada.htmlThe above is for Plymouths produced in Canada all years. I thought that this was an interesting read. There is probably a similar article on the same web site for Dodge production in Canada....all years. There are some years where there is sketchy information like after 67 and before 75. It's well known that Chrysler Canada made some terrible decisions in the 60's.
