1970 & 1971 Grabber Yellow Question
I was trying to make a color match for Grabber Yellow and I thought I nailed it, but I have an issue: My DuPont paint chips for 1970 & 1971 are a tad different - 1971 shows an ever-so-slight hint of green over 1970, yet the paint codes are the same. As best I can tell from pictures online, it should be a dead-bright yellow.
If anyone could confirm this, I'd appreciate it.
I thought paint chip books were gospel - are they apt to goofs or do the chips tend to fade over time?
Thanks,

There never was a Grabber Yellow in 1970. There was only Bright Yellow and Light Ivy Yellow in 70. 1971 was the first year for Grabber Yellow.

Oops - correct. Both colors are referred to as Competition Yellow (Mercury) - While the Ford names are different, the codes are the same.
So Bright Yellow and Grabber yellow *are* two different colors? That would mean the chips are correct and there's a typo in the book. I know updates and corrections were sent out from time to time for these things.
