You will notice that pink was not in the original paint colors for 59 so that was done special by someone else Bucky... lol!!! You can Google the names off the chart to see the actual colors...

My kit is molded in different colors including that awful pink that will need primer to cover properly... also Monogram included some chrome stick on strips for the large side trim... nice touch.   |

I notice my kit came with front bucket seats or the big bench, don't see buckets on Jeff's sprue shots...
