Looking for Turquoise Vinyl Tile

I am looking for a source to purchase new turquoise color vinyl floor tile. I'm trying to keep the original vintage color scheme of the early '60's. I've enclosed pictures of the original 9"x9" tile color. I've looked at the major manufacturer's web sites, and searched here, etc. I didn't know if anyone knew of a source for vintage floor colors. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you,

You may want to check out these

Mannington "Inspirations" in either 'Pastel Tones' or 'Ecru Fleck' both have some turquoise in them - doesn't show up in the photos well though.

or some other alternatives to Armstrong (which is what most people think of) are:

Tarkett/Azrock (wanna see some wild tiles? Karim Kolors)
Forbo Marmoleum (comes in sheet & tiles)

I'm installing the Azrock by Tarkett tiles in my '69, looks great, locally available, cheap ($1/sq ft) and very durable. only downside is you have to maintain (wax etc) them, but looks like the old days...lots of colors too..

Thanks Shari...great links....wild colors/patterns too!

I've used the marmoleum Forbo in our Bambi II restoration and would use that product again in a heartbeat.

We are doing a renovation in another trailer and may choose one of the more daring, wilder patterns.

Thanks Shari & Rick for the help with the great links. There are so many nice colors-I'm sure I'll be able to find just the right one!
