G.R. - Princess blue and Viking blue are actually two distinctively different colors. When I repainted 2306 about ten years ago, we couldn't locate anything that matched the original paint under the chrome headlight buckets. I eventually decided to use Viking because (a) we could duplicate it, and (b) I think it looks nicer than Princess. Viking has slightly more blue in it, whereas Princess is like a dull silver with just a hint of blue in it. The '64 Ford color of "silver mink" is sort of like it, but is more to the silver end of the spectrum.
