Which 1953 Green do I have?

I am thinking that I have Ocean Green but not 100%, it looks brighter and darker, especially after I sanded the white off with 180 grit to get to the factory green paint.

Any help? My plans are to paint the bed back to the factory green then sand it down (age it) to match the cab and fenders which have been sanded back to factory green and bare metal rust treated with CLR (picture 4).

Thanks,

That might be Ocean Green rather than Juniper green. Here look at this.
