I'm looking for some help on a color code. My 60 Desoto's dash is 2 toned. The lighter color is the same Cypress green as the exterior main body. The darker color is what I'm questioning as it doesn't show up on my paint charts. I'm wondering if it wasn't a color used in a previous year or possibly another division within the corporation. Any help is appreciated.

Hey Chuck, the charts list cypress and willow with willow being very pale. The lighter color on my dash matches the original exterior paint. Some of the charts samples online list the cypress as dark, others as medium. I came across this one that lists chrome green! It's all confusing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-DODGE-DART-PLYMOUTH-FURY-DE-SOTO-CHRYS...

Pulled out my paint chip charts and found some codes on the back for interior colors. I'll give these to my painter and see what he can do wit them. Right now I'm leaning towards Mallard green
