Thanks! I looked at the paint chip codes and it showed Dover White and Alpine White. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | don't see the trim color specified on the 56 sheets I have, but on the 57 and 58 sheets [should be the same] it's called Arctic Beige, Dulux 93-74277 [enamel] .... don't know if that number can be crossed to anything modern

I see Pure White and there was Bombay Ivory (both from prior years) and Arabian Ivory, which was new for 1956. My guess would be Pure White was used for misc exterior and interior White (as was used from mid-1954 through 1955 - that white color was also available in many prior years). If my guess is correct, and you cannot find a color code for Pure White, instructions on how to contact the PPG Color Library are given at the bottom of the Stovebolt.com Tech Tip.
