Velocity Yellow is a fairly pure yellow. As I remember MilleniumYellow pushes a little in the orange direction. The C8 yellow just looks chartreuse in the pictures I've seen. Here is my VY car in muted lighting. It was an $800 option so I think there probably were some addition steps required at the factory. Be sure to keep an additional quantity of paint for a major touchup, it would be hard to match even from the same supplier.

Daytona Yellow was the stock color of yellow in 1969. It's one of the better C3 yellow shades, IMO.

1975 Corvette Bright Yellow. Code 56. I call it a green yellow. It does not have a the orange or red tint of other yellows. The two shots in the driveway are at exactly the same time, just different light angles, obviously.

Any good pro auto paint supplier should have the resources to obtain the correct paint formula for 1969 Chevy Corvette Daytona Yellow. Most auto body/paint shops also have the same info. Most have stocks of standard paint colors that are mixed (according to paint color databases) to the exact shade you require.
