I am trying to find a site that shows different paint colors to help better choose one before my car goes to the shop, but keep coming up with pay sites or nothing at all.
Does anyone out there know of a site that will show different colors and possible paint codes?

Thanks.
 
I found this.

1967 Ford Mustang Paint Colors

Second hit with search terms "paint ford 1967 green."

Honestly, I wouldn't put too much stock in colors as they appear on the web, and I certainly wouldn't pay to do so. Too many variables.

My paint guy and I went to the supply house and looked at chips. It took a while but I got just what I wanted ... in terms of color anyway.
 
I'm sorry. I didn't see where you were until after I'd posted about going to the supplier.

The paint chip pages are available on Ebay right now. A couple claim to be mint, who knows with fading and such.
 
Go into your local automotive paint supplier and look at them in person. Looking at online scans of color chips is not going to work. Every computer monitor is going to display colors differently based on how it is setup, more so on LCD monitors that are popular today.

I have seen more variations of Gulfstream Aqua than I'd care to remember. :)

Couldn't agree more. Plus you need to get the color out of the fluorescent light in rooms and into the sunlight.
 
Also do like i did, find the colors you like then buy a half pint and shoot it an a test panel. Clear it if you are using bc/cc paint. Also if you are using stripes or two tone just lay it out on the same panel to see how they look together. I thought I had found my colors till I shot them on my test panel and low and behold I have two completely colors now.
