the http://autocolorlibrary.com/ website has a scan of the paint chips.
however there's likely some slight inaccuracy going from a little paint chip
scanned into computer and viewed on your monitor. but it should give a
reasonable indication of the colors.

Sorry, I forgot to say that I have already been there but was really interested in seeing the difference of the two on a Bronco...

Man, are you sure that isn't Signal Flare or Poppy Red?
Did you choose a '66 Mustang red?

I believe you, I remember seeing a couple of Mustangs that color.
When you said "my truck is factory ford 1966 candyapple red original color"
I thought you meant it was an original candyapple red '66, not repainted.

sorry for the confusion. I just did arepaint last spring. My truck is 71 and I had a picture taken with one of those special paint camera's that determined the color and it was ford candyapple red. That made that color for a ton of years I just choose 1966. The color is great very true red. I will try to post a picture of it out of the sun its darker red then.
