I need some opinions from everyone here please, I am getting to the point where I will probably be getting the 69 Coupe painted this year some time. I decided on yellow. Now the problem of what shade of yellow, I want bright yellow. The ones I have narrowed it down to are;

canary/chrome yellow, 1993 Ford Mustang - Paint Cross Reference

zinc yellow,Zinc 2001 Ford Mustang - Paint Cross Reference Yellow&name=2001_00001_01&scomm=

bright/grabber yellow, Bright 1969 Ford Mustang - Paint Cross Reference Yellow&name=1969_00099_01&scomm=

screaming yellow, Screaming 2006 Ford Mustang - Paint Cross Reference Yellow&name=2006_00011_01

triple yellow, http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorco...=2015&smanuf=Ford&smodel=Mustang&sname=Triple Yellow&name=2015_00003_02

After it is painted I want to have the rear tail light panel painted black, the outer head light section of the bucket painted black like the 69 Boss 302, http://www.graphic-express.com/ford...1969-mustang-boss-302-hood-paint-stencil.html & a stripe on the hood like the 70 Mach-1 http://www.graphic-express.com/ford...rborn-hood-paint-stencil-choose-4-styles.html & the GT side stripes http://www.graphic-express.com/ford...969-mustang-gt-lower-stripe-kit-standard.html both also in black. The front & rear spoilers will also be black, & it will have a black vinyl top & a black interior.The roof of the Mustang has a lot of little dents that will take a huge amount of time & filler to make straight & the Mustang originally came with a vinyl top so it has the holes in the body or I would not add a vinyl top. If you were painting my Mustang yellow, which yellow of the 5 would you choose?. BTW my 69 Coupe was originally meadowlark yellow, yuck.

Personally I would go with the Screaming Yellow, Chrome Yellow Isa close second and may actually be the same color only renamed. On the other hand if you are going for an accurate restoration, definitely go with he Grabber Yellow. If you go to www.yellowmustangregistry.com they have a history of the color description on the public page.

I am not looking for period correct, the car will be modified & NOT stock so correctness does not matter. I got the choices from paintref.com & then just did a search for yellow then year, make & model & then picked from the shades of yellow I liked best. BTW the colors I listed all have different Ford color codes. The canary/chrome yellow both had the same color code so I assume they are the same color just different names, & the bright/grabber yellow also had the same color codes & just different names.

I think sometimes the color remains the same, but the name is changed to create more sales, based on what is popular at that time. Sometimes they make subtle changes that are nearly imperceptible until you put two colors side by side. The brighter shades do stand out the best and are attention getters.

After seeing that gorgeous "Bright Yellow" 69 GT500 Convertible I'd have to vote for that color, not too loud and not too dull= Just right.That's my 2 cents. Whatever you decide I'm sure it will look great.

I am between the Grabber and Screaming (like I think most responses are). Do not prefer the first two, especially based on all the black you will be putting on. With the 2015 color being called 'triple' I think you will find it is probably a multi-layer color (those are too much trouble to lay down and repair in the future).
Since I like blue, you won't get any bias from me; compared to those that have yellow cars already :) .
I am one that likes to stick with original (or close to it). That fact that you have picked all Ford colors is great, and satisfies most of that. But to break the 'tie' for me, I would go with Grabber. Being a 69 color, it closer to your car's year.

I also think it is great that you have made enough progress that is about ready for paint. That is a major step in any restoration.

This one is not easy. Depends on the final look you want. Some of these colors look different in the sun as compared to inside. The Grabbed is nice but seems to be titnted a bit toward orange. The Screaming yellow is by far the brightest choice. Good luck.
