What color is this paint code? - 11/06/14 06:41 PM
I would like to know what the color would be for the paint code on this fender tag. The car is painted B5 but I am curious as to what color it should be.
What color is this paint code?

Wouldn't Rallye Green have been F6 on the tag?? A "99" code is for special order paint.

F6 is F6, Rallye Green is it's own color and one of the special order 99 codes. 
A couple years ago I looked at a 69 GTX that was painted F8 because they couldn't figure out what 99 meant. Nobody had ever seen a GTX in Rallye Green, so it was definitely a special order, didn't even have the GTX lower trim and no sign it was ever there!

I thought "rallye green" was introduced around March 1969 along with
Bahama Yellow, Vitamin C etc. Mid year "spring" colors .
The car in question has an October SPD

Greg, what color would you call this? (Yep. Sucks to be color blind. I really can't tell.)

including the 2 examples shown in this thread I have info from:
7 Plymouth b-bodies (all Road Runners) with "99" special order paint & 925xxx VONs
All are SPD'd between A23 (Wed. 10/23/68) and C03 (Tue. 12/3/68)
All are from the LA plant
No other 925xxx VON Plymouth b-bodies
3 are "rallye green" and 3 are "Omaha orange" (& one is unknown 9E125300?)
What is the significance of the "16" (roof paint) on the OP's tag (shown prior to repaint in this attachment), even though it is a vinyl top car?
RM21H9E116984 was originally "RALLYE GREEN" 
The hardtop RR in the upper right is the green interiored RR tag 69CoronetRT attached. It is "rallye green".

Great thread. Are there differences in the codes at the LA plant? I owned a Rallye green that was a 97 code. I've also seen Omaha Orange codes that were 98.
And I'm still confused about the 16 on the originally posted tag!

I believe the 16 is 1G =Green vinyl top.

..... but "1G" is the gator-grain top. Wrong location for the vinyl top in '69.
WAG - it has something to do with the "ASSUMED" "rallye green metallic" paint in association with the date of this car's build (possible first "rallye green metallic" car or batch?). BW has a few special order paint fleet car's info with "16" "20" and/or other odd 2-digit paint codes. My brother has a '73 Charger with "426" (it looks like JB9) & Nick's FM3 '71 R/T is "148".
