Can anyone post a reliable pic of the difference between B5 an B7 Blue, and are there any other blue shades of blue available in 1971?

Higher the number, darker the shade.

Some original B2 on a 71 Dart.

Thanks. That helps a bunch. It looks like the blue I saw in the engine compartment and trunk/interrior was a lot lighter, but the fender tag did say B7 :dontknow:

In either 71 or 72 the formula for B5 changed and the later years had a slightly darker B5 than the earlier years, although it was still a lighter shade than B7. Otherwise, as crackedback said, higher the number, darker the color.
