The 261 started out Green, then in 1955 it went Yellow thru 1957, then back to green for '58 and up. GM Alpine Green (Detroit Diesel Green) is about as close as it gets for matching the color IMHO.

Your second picture has what I thing is the correct color for your engine (pale yellow), the 4th picture looks to dark.
