ascamaro I would love to see what that looks like do you think you can get me a bunch of pics. Mine was Madeira Maroon with gold but someone redid it red and black. I think that could help give me an idea what mine mite look like if I take it back that way.
Thanks Bob

I'm not sure what you're asking.

You'd like to see the whole table broken down into ext color and int color? That would be so complicated it would be unreadable. And it would be a lot of work and the #'s wouldn't be very dependable.

If you want just Royal Plum, I can do that.

There is a list of ColorPercentages but add that to the interior colors like Madeira Maroon with red Madeira Maroon with black Madeira Maroon with gold and so on for all colors.
My car was maroon with gold do we know the Percentages of that combo.
Does that help?

Like I said, that's not about to happen. It takes a whole lot of work to generate that table as it is. Just in 67 only, there are 17 different interiors. Plus 16 ext colors. That's 272 different possible combinations (not all were used) just for 67. The headrest codes double the possible interior codes (760-Z vs 760-Y) so there are really even more possible combinations.

As it is, there is **nowhere** else in the world that you'll find color estimates like this. GM didn't keep records.

From the database, for Royal Plum:
75% are black interiors (760, 765, & 767)
24% are white (797)
1% are gold (711)

Note that the db is not a random sampling. Just in this thread, there are 2 gold interior cars mentioned. Including those 2 cars in the estimate doubles the gold interior % to 2%.

Thanks kur. I saw a large list somewhere I just dont know where it was just wondering what my chances are of finding pics with my cars colors to see if I want to take it back to the way it came.
Thanks again Bob
