Looking for current paint number for 61 Factory canyon blue

Would anyone know the current paint number for 1961 Gmc factory canyon blue? The paint number on the tag on my 61 GMC is 5007. Thanks

These might be the official colours: https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorco...el=GMC&rows=50

Might be US-only colours - did we get different colours in Canada?

Looks like I'm leaning towards tartan turquoise. I remember it being turquoise of some kind when it was repainted 35 years ago. Yes Canada could have had different colors.

A close up of the turquoise that was brushed on 35 years ago.

If I had a sample 2 inch by 2 inch of the original color I would take it to the paint shop and they would match it.

I think your truck is more blue than mine. Found another picture with the brush job before I tore it down.
