PBY (Pale Butter Yellow)

[cyure]

Hello peeps!! As many of you know I’ve been screaming PBY (PALE BUTTER YELLOW) for ages now and I have gotten some really great results with Gemini using the pictures my husband took at Nats.

So I’m posting the pictures here. In the suggestion box. Hoping PBY gets enough love that it becomes an official Scout color and I can buy it and have my very own PBY Scout Traveler.

Thank you for supporting my dream.

This it the vintage Scout I saw at Nats. I love this color. I have no idea what this is called but it sure is pretty.

Well I'm guessing that based on the Scout color pallete from 1978:

Scout II, Scout Terra, Scout Traveler 1978 Color Card International​

That you color could be called "SIAM YELLOW"... I'm also guessing that it might have faded a little bit over time back in the good 'ole days.

Saw this image of the GT3 and wondered what would best suite the Scout lineup in PBY? Single or double stage, metallic flake(s), pearl finish, etc. Personally, I would like to see a PBY with minimal gold flake

I think a super fine gold metallic could be cool so long as the get the shade of yellow correct, which probably means more pale than most of what we’ve seen. Something in the PBY-gold range with more of a luster finish flake would be really nice

Okay, so you're going more for American butter and not European butter. You might want to specify a brand for Scout to color match.

I really want to be a fly on the wall when someone brings a stick of butter to Sherwin-Williams, asking for a color match...

Yeah-not the Kerry Gold

I’m almost positive this was the color of our scout. Because Siam is a pale yellow but there is some brown in it

This with a unique luster flake could be gorgeous.

As long as it doesn’t read green in the light I could get behind that.

That’s the hard part with yellow and gold.

Even painting houses or furniture, yellow is the hardest color to get right. Natural light affects its appearance very quickly

Don't forget about the homeowner's that swear you painted two rooms in different colors because of different lighting conditions...

or the HOA that wants you to re-paint because the color tan you painted isn't in their selection of tans... (happened to me - I moved)
