What color is this truck??

I am trying to figure out what color this truck is, anyone have any ideas? Most of the ones I find look more blue or green!

Tropical turquoise is what I was leaning towards but the paint chops are deceiving.

Re: What color is this truck??

That was my brothers truck, He sold it to me, I had it one day, then sold it to my buddy Clay after he talked me out of it. My brother had it painted just never finished it. My Bro called it Glenwood Green. It was featured here.

Original 55 Chevy turquoise has a lot of real light metallic in it. My 56 Belair is supposed to be tropical turquoise (no metallic) but when we touched up some areas we had to add more green, depending on light it actually changes color a bit.

Heres the color chip chart from a 1962 Chevrolet Data book showing the Glenwood Green.

my 61 was stock neptune green, very close to the glenwood green. they don't like to have their pic taken--different light and a different shade shows up.
