1966 bright blue interior shades

[Jesse Martin]

I am currently restoring a late 1966 Nassau Blue Coupe with bright blue interior. The interior appears to be completly original but all parts need replaced or repainted. My question concerns the color differences in painted parts. The dash, speaker grille, lower windshield trim, radio side panels, console, kick panel trim, and jack stowage compartment are clearly not bright blue but rather a darker shade of blue. All other interior pieces are bright blue. The color difference is like night and day. I looked up the '66 paint codes in M.F. Dobbins "Fact Book" and found no listing for bright blue. I then looked up the '67 paint codes and found listings for medium bright blue and dark bright blue. However, I don't believe they made '67s with a dark bright blue interiors. So in cars with bright blue interiors, did they paint the parts I have listed above with the "dark" bright blue? If not, what are the correct paint codes for my car? Any help would be much appreciated.

Jesse, according to the JG for 67 , a car with bright blue interior ,the lower windshield trim is flat dark bright blue and the sides and top are semi gloss bright blue. I would assume the same for 66.
