I didn't check these real closely, but I think they're correct. They 
are exclusive BY NAME. I can't guarantee the same color wasn't simply 
called by different names. One of the "Stock Is" guys would have to 
offer an opinion on that. This is from "The Corvair Decade".

Interesting comments:

The only color offered all years was Tuxedo Black.

There was no true red, red (bright red) offered in '65, '66, and '69.

There was no true white in '63, only Adobe Beige.

Ermine White was offered all other years except for '69 when Dover 
White was the white.

The number of colors offered ranges from 10 in '60 to 15 on all the 
late-models. These days, you're more likely to see 8-10 on a car.
