pink was big in the 50s and 60s... mostly soft baby pinks, pastels (until '69 anyway)
these were all approximately the same shade:
- Shell Pink (Derusto)
- Coral Pink (Rust-oleum)
- Baby Pink (Krylon)
- Pink (Red Devil)
- Carnation Pink (yikes, forgot who made that)
- Valencia Pink (ditto)

yeah i have noticed there was quite a few soft pinks back then. these all came from the same person so kinda makes sense. Not as many bright pinks and bright colors period in the 50-60's cans.

Joe Welcome should post the illbronze color chart from the late 50's. One of the sickest lines I have ever seen and so few of them have been found....

Altona is a product of Kwasny since 10 years now, but it used to be a french brand, very popular among french old-school kings cause Altona used to sponsor them...there were big beefs for it indeed. It was widly distributed and it was real good paint. We call this design "Arlequin", due to the patern which is the same as the Comedia dell'arte character...
I gave some cool shots of all the differents versions for the CMC hardcover...can't wait to see this book!

And by the way the one pictured in System's collection is not crushed but "sucked up", i have a big one just like this...i guess now it's particular to Altona and the gas they used to fill their cans in...
