I just got my Marti Auto build sheet today and it said my 68 was Peacock blue. I have a copy of the window sticker and it has Lunar green as the color. Not sure which one is correct as both colors are close. Mine still has the original paint and the Ford stamp under the hood. I would like to see pics of your EB's with the Peacock blue paint. Thanks.

No pics for you, but I like that color on an EB. Not many cars/trucks could pull that color off like a Bronco does.

Looks the same as mine but I thought it was a Aqua Marine.

Hey broncokak your looks identical to mine. Is it the original paint? If your vin tag has a D in the color than it is Peacock blue. There is a Reef Aqua color for 69 but it is too dark or teal like.

Yes, that is the original paint. It's a 68 and I think the paint code is a C but I'd have to check to be sure. I like the looks of yours. I've always wondered what mine would look like with side chrome.

Gahhh. My contributor status expired. I better renew that. Mine was Peacock Blue originally and I repainted it the same. I like that color.

When I first got my 68 I really didn't care fore the color but my buddy painted his wife's Bronco (that is it in the 2nd picture I posted above) I really liked it. Mine is old and faded but the fresh paint looks very nice.

All these "aqua" and "peacock blue" broncos looks really similar to what I thought was "seafoam green". The one in tcb42's post looks like the same color mine has under all the paint. I thought it was seafoam green. Were the color names consistent throughout the years? Or is is possible that "Seafoam Green" form one year is similar to "Peacock Blue" from another year?

check out the auto color library. http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/ . Here is a link to it too from this site. Check your year and the colors available for it. A letter code is given to each color and you can reference your vin tag in the color section to verify the color. I hope that was clear.

Well its nice to see other EB's with the same color. The Marti build sheet showed that there were 2,804 68's painted Peacock blue but it doesn't appear to be a popular color. My wife hates it but I like it. Thanks to all who submitted photos of their rigs.
