are the colors that vintage schwinn sells correct? seen lots of debate on the CABE about light green color wrong shade on bikes that were restored. if was so easy to buy correct light green, than why so many differences in that color's shade on so many restored schwinns? i could pull 5 photos of 1941 two tone green schwinn's of the cabe, all 5 different shades of light green. I spent 35 years of antique motorcycle restoration in quest of the 100 point grade at Del Mar, can't help to be sooooo picky on my new bicycle restoration hobby!! i don't want to post a pic of my newly finished 41 canti here to have others say wrong color, hack job, or such!

My paints were all matched from original sealed Schwinn cans, so if you know the exact name of the color you want, if I have it matched, it's exact.
