Re: Packard Blue Crossreference?
Posted by Tim Cole On 2022/8/18 8:04:03
There aren't many examples to reference and there are historical misrepresentations as well. For example, the Central Railroad of New Jersey used something they called Packard Blue that was too light.
Hirsch offered a Packard Blue that wasn't too bad. Attached is an old picture of what looks like Packard Blue. I do have a snap shot of the Hirsch color on a Packard 12, but it is in storage.
If everything is a dead end, I would go to the old formula and try to come up with something myself. Get the darkest blue I can find, add a proportion of black, light green, and white to get what I want and then move on from there.
However, these modern materials are expensive and they only sell minimum quantities.
