<< I found this site recently. It has all of the Hudson and Essex color

chips back to 29 on line. Just choose Hudson and then click on Show

Makes. Select the year and then look up the number on the sheet. Then

click on IM at the top to see the chips. You would probably have to

have them mix some to see what the color would really be like. At

least you can have an idea what the color would look like.

Thanks Bill, this is a terrific resource. The chips look quite dark,

which is how they look in person. I would love to know if the colors have

darkened over the years. The color ads show bright vibrant colors for the

Hudsons of 1929, something that is not evident in the chips.

Just for laughs, I looked up Hudson Standard Blue, a very bright, very

blue color to see how it looked on the screen. Sure enough, it WAS very dark

on the chip. I guess the next step would be to find a website that would take

the paint mixes and render a color on screen based on the components rather

than a scanned vintage chip.
