So I have a question concerning convertible tops. I have a 1968 triple blue car. The body is grotto blue, blue top, medium blue interior. What color of blue is the top supposed to be? Dark, light or medium? I have searched and cannot find a picture that i know is a factory blue top so I'm not sure what shade of blue it should be. Does anyone have a picture of a factory blue top for 1968 or some kind of reference? Also anyone know of a good place to get one? I can find ivory and black but not blue.
Thanks

Thank you Gars68tux.
Can anyone confirm that is the correct shade of blue?

That looks like the right color for the top. This might have a better image of the top, Super Chevy did an article some time back on 67 Chevy's and the Chevelle they used was a triple blue car.

I just ordered a 68 dealer trim book from ebay. once it is in I can let know know for sure. I have a 67 that came with a blue top. I compared an original piece of material to the 1967 dealer trim book and it matched perfectly (picture below). I ordered a repo top and the blue was darker than original (also in the picture).
This first picture is of a 68 (not mine) that has what I believe to be and original blue top (though the car has 67 doors on it.) The second picture is of the comparison I stated above.
