Need Help On Original Paint Color Nomenslature - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i'm a little confused

i would like to restore my truck to the original paint colors, but i'm befuddled on those listed.
my protecto-plate lists the option code (can't remember #, but i will look when i get home) and the colors are dk olive/white/dk olive. it's a '72 cheyenne, and the original scheme is :white top/green/white center/green.

original literature lists several different colors of green for '72, but none are called dark olive. the closest i can see is meadow green? or something (also don't have the lit in front of me.)

was there an actual paint called dark olive (in deference to dk olive interior color) for this year, and is it different than what's in the literature?
