Again, one more time.

Don't worry about the name of the color or the code code, worry about the paint formula.

Ermine White is a Chevrolet color from 1960 - 1967, it is also known as Artic White for 1960 - 1967 Buick, Provincial White for 1960 - 1967 Olds, Sheltone-Cameo Ivory for 1960 - 1967 Pontiac, and Grecian White for the 1967 Cadillac. They all share the 936 or C color code, but more importantly they all have the same paint mixing formula.
