Pale Ivory is yellowish. It has been called yellow or cream by folks 
looking at our Bugeye. I had a color match mixed to an original portion 
of fender that still had good paint on it. We compared it to the color 
book you refer to and we're dang close to right on. The color is not 
listed as available on a 60 Bugeye, but that's what was underneath 
everything, so it must have been ordered special or something. I'm very 
pleased with the color and it's different than everyone else. Not sure 
if this helps, but it's all a matter of personal taste and what pleases 
you, the owner.
