What Shade is 1950's Texaco Green

[CJ Steak]

Hello Everyone,

I used the search function here and couldn't come up with anything. I've seen a couple of really nice garages modeled after a 1940's-1950's Texaco with the green trim and tri-bar accents at the top of the wall. I was given some old Texaco stuff from that era and my garage needs a quicky makeover to avoid looking like everyone elses in the neighborhood. I figure why not? It's only a two car garage, but I might as well have fun with what I got for now.

Does anyone have a paint chip for Texaco green, or have a source I can go to for that information? Did Texaco use different shades of green?

Thanks,

Chris

If you have some Texaco memorabilia, why not just bring it down the paint store to see if you can match it up? If they don't have a color chip that looks good enough, many stores these days can match the color with a computer.

Texaco green 42783. That is possibly a Sherwin-Williams number.

This is based on googled info I found here
