This is exactly what I am looking for:

Any ideas?
Btw I looked & searched all over this site looking for different color codes with no luck.

Appreciate any insight and assistance.

I know this post is old but I may have some useful info for others. The truck in that article “retired nurses....” is not seacrest green or forest green. The color is actually an Austin color, 1958 GN13. I liked the color so I inquired with the owner.
