I just picked up this original paint '72 SunCoupe. It's code 50 and looks a lot like 1970 Bamboo Cream. Is it the same color? What was it called in '72?

In '72 was still called Bamboo Cream.

So, '72 code 50 is Bamboo Cream? Is this post incorrect then? http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=160557

Donny,
I'm thinking the other thread you referred to is based on interior colours....not sure about the codes/numbers. Sandalwood for '71 is a light beige with a tint of olive in it....maybe. My '71 has this & it's either love it or hate it. I'm on the fence about liking it or not but it is what it is. '72 had Covert & is the same colour.
