Spurred on by Phil's article on the new Fenders I looked up the automotive custom colors on 60s Fenders.

Here is a really interesting article including a cross reference color table

and one for the Gibson enthusiasts

The Caddy pictured above it sure looks a lot more like Kerry Green than Inverness Green to me. Look at the examples on the color chart right above it. Maybe it was mislabeled?

 

Same thing with the first picture in the Fender color link article - that '64 Strat sure doesn't look like foam green to me - more likely it's either aged Lake Placid Blue or aged Ocean Turquoise.
