Help with paint color

Hello, new to site. I’m looking to replicate my dads old 1968 ranger. He has been gone for many years just have one picture of it. Any help would be great! Thanks

This is the only picture I have. Can’t quite make out color.

My 67 Ranger is Holly Green, and that would be my guess for your Dad's old truck.

Another vote for Holly Green as it's too dark to be Peacock blue.

A1steve,
There was a recent post titled "Restoring '68 F250 Interior - finding details" that you may be interested in, if you haven't seen it. In the picture of your Dad's truck it looks like the seat upholstery was a lighter colour and there is some info on that in this earlier post.

I think your dad's truck is too dark to be lunar green. Mine is lunar green but faded badly. If you Google lunar green a lot of Fords come up.

That's a tough one from the old pic. But it sure looks like a nice color green!
It's almost a darker and shinier Boxwood Green, but not quite. Looks more green in the pic where the Holly Green of Centennial's (beautiful!) truck.
But it's close enough that the picture hue could be throwing me off.

Definitely dig into some dark corners below the dash or seat or wherever some original paint might still reside.
