Help me find this paint color

1972 GMC, medium green paint with a darker green accent on the instrument bezel, glove box, and dash pad. Searched the forum but results were inconclusive - all I know is it’s not quite Forest green

Here’s the link the thread I had found a while back, you can see the dash pad isn’t quite dark green. Here’s a few more pictures of my glove box and a dark green cluster next to mine

Re: Help me find this paint color

If you have an autobody supply parts store near you. Most have a paint camera.
Bring the glove box door with you after giving a little bit of the inside side of the glove box door( as it doesn't see sunlight) color a lite cleaning and buff.
Then compare what the paint camera computer came up with to the g.m. truck line paint chip book.

Re: Help me find this paint color

The dash pad color is a green that only came with the base trim green interior. It isn't reproduced. Here is a picture of one I sold a few months back

The color is Woodland Green/Dark Green/505. It is still used as a fleet truck color. I ordered a '92 GMC in that color, which was called Woodland Green, same as on the '71 Blazer I had

In '69 your Medium Green/503 body color was still called Light Green, shown on the chart. Here is a Medium Green/503 '72
