If you have a car quest that deals in DuPont paint they have a book with the colors for each model year.

You are probably thinking of russet brown and either santafe tan or buckskin.

Additionally, the official names and color codes would also be listed in the info packets, which are stored in the GM Heritage Center Archives.

Go to this link and search on the model year you are interested in ('78 and '77 Chevy truck, in this case):

The same question, but different. I'm wanting to get factory touch up paint in a spray can. How/where would I go about to look for that?

Most auto paint stores will make up a can for you. Helps if you have the correct code. Some can also scan a chip of paint and come up with matching color.
