1969 340 Engine Color

Sorry to beat a dead horse yet again. In 2015, I read countless posts on the 1969 340 engine color. The vast majority of them stated that the 1969 340 was painted turquoise, therefore, that’s what I painted my 340 in my 1969 Swinger. In addition, as I recall, the 1968 340s were painted red, the 1970 and 1971 340s were painted orange and the 1972 and 1973 340s were painted blue. I also noted that there were exceptions, due to Mopar using paint left over from the prior year.

I saw the attached chart in Mopar Muscle last fall. It stated that 1969 340s were painted blue. I am wondering if you Mopar motor heads have any thoughts on this.
