    Standard and Special Colors for late 64 until May 65 901/911 ?

    I recently had an interesting conversation with 1965 MY owners. While its universially accepted that Modelyear 1966 had, among others, Bahama Yellow and Sand Beige as Standard Colors and among others, Champagne Yellow as Special Color, some sources say this does not apply for 1964/1965 cars.
    For those 64/65 MY cars, other colors were Standard Colors: Sky blue, Champagne Yellow, Ruby Red etc. These are basicially 356C colors.

    Digging into my period literature collection including Christophorus from 1963 onwards, couldnt find proof of it. The earlist known Colorchart for 911/912, dated 5.65 shows the Standard Colors for 1965 as for 1966 Modelyear.

    Yet, both Peter Morgan, Patrick Paternie and also 912 registry give another info.
    So:
    Where is period proof that in 1964 and 1965 (up to May 1965), Standard Colors differed than for the 1966 Model Years ?
    And that colors for the 356C were carried over into 901/911 models ?
    Thx
