Here are the colors but the SPID paint codes indicate how it was applied.
Just remember the 5XX codes are trucks and XX are GMC Sprints.
506 Dark Olive is a solid paint scheme while 466 is the Deluxe Two-Tone with all the 521 White. What code is your truck?

564 denotes a 506 Dark Olive truck with a 521 White roof in the Conventional Two-Tone scheme.

That looks like it! My only concern is on the color sheet in the post it shows the dark olive as Chevrolet color only. Looks identical to my gmc so I think it'll be fine

There were a number of running changes in offered colors and usage. Know of many factory 506 Dark Olive Poly (metallic) GMCs. Go with the code and enjoy. Just remember current metallic size and clear coats can change how the final color will look on the truck. So work to a close match if originality is important to you.
