Original engine colors??????

I know this subject has been debated on other sites many times in the past. I have posted a few pictures of the 340 in my 69 GTS before, but lets do it again for this post.
This is a original paint motor on a 10.5K mile car. SBD 127
Some see blue, but I see turquoise. At least I think I do?

i agree. the lighting does make it different looking from the freshly painted in the next post down but thats not chrysler blue.... the lighting in the picture has a ton to do with the confusion..

i've never heard the blue being on a 69.. i've always heard the red or turquoise. seems logical that early 69's could have possible gotten a red. blue doesn't make sense at all being that in 70 the 340 was orange and the blue was a non-performance color.. better chance of getting an orange 340 in late 69 in my opinion...
