Mineral blue is less rich, think of a neutral blue with a hint of grey -
looks great on a GT
Teal Blue is richer blue a bit like the ocean!! - a very faint hint of
turquoise - looks great as well, either way you won't be disappointed.

I thought Teal Blue comes out a brighter and lighter blue than Mineral
Blue(1). Toyota had a pickup truck color in the late 80's that was real,
real close to Mineral Blue(2).

(1) Didn't that 'B' Len Lutz sold wear Teal Blue?
(2) That '67 B/GT I sold to David Atherton was passed off as Mineral Blue
although it was a Toyota paint code
