There are sometimes some really nice restored A-D Trucks on eBay for sale I use them for reference pictures or check the gallery on this site.

The GMC colors names are different and the shades are slightly different from the dark greens used as the standard color on Chevrolet trucks, including the 53-55 Chevrolet truck Juniper Green,

Have you look for Juniper Green 53-55 Advance-Design trucks in the Gallery (Forester Green was used on earlier Chevrolet Advance-Design trucks, 47-52)?

Cecil's truck is a GMC and most likely it is painted the original GMC dark green, probably Brewster Green.

Here are two trucks from the Gallery that are probably painted Juniper green.

It's hard to tell looking at pictures on computers. Any digital device along the way could change what you see. Seeing juniper bushes in nature I would have expected the color to have a blue tint. Of course I'm no expert on color, my wife will agonize for weeks to pick out paint for a room and as soon as it hits the wall I say "Yep that's white."
