I was wondering if there was a color difference between 68 to 70 QQ1 and B5? I have noticed this difference on many occasions. I know some depends on the type of day it is and how the car was painted etc... To me QQ1 looks a shade darker. Is there a difference or is it just me?
Here's a link to paint chips for all three years (and then some) There are lots of different blues out there. I think qq1 and b5 are the same.

You're right, QQ1 and B5 are different, the QQ1 is a bit darker. I'm not sure if B5 is different from 69 to 70, but I know the 68 color was a little darker. I had a hell of a time trying to figure out what QQ1 should look like when I was repainting my engine bay (someone painted the body B5) so I just settled for "close enough." If you figure out anything definitive, let me know.
The PPG # for 69 and 70 B5 in DBC basecoat is 2019,so they are the same,71 B5 # is 2025 so B5 did change color for 71,but is still called B5 blue.Never seen them parked side by side ,but if I remember correctly B5 looks darker for 71 and up.I had a 73 cuda that was B5 and recall it looking darker than 69 and 70 B5.As for 68,never looked it up,so I could'nt answer you on that.
