Re: Update to Pink/White Packard 400 of my Grandfather's

Rose Quartz was bright, like pink lipstick, but don't confuse that with the bright red of Fire Opal which was also used in one of the four standard tri-tone schemes on Caribbeans, as well as two-tones available on other Packards and Clippers for '55.

If the colors of the taillights on that car and the brick facade of the house are accurate, I'd say the lower color of this Clipper is Sardonyx. I've seen White Jade over Sardonyx two-tones on a couple of '55 400s, and the colors look just like this Clipper.

The lower color on the Clipper looks quite similar to some of the shades of reds that appear in online images of the sardonyx gemstone.
