Help identifying color of this truck?

Does anyone know this truck or know what color it is? It seems to be darker than the medium olive but lighter than the dark olive. I'm looking to paint my truck soon and would really like to get it close to this color if possible. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Not seen that truck before. Maybe print that pic and take it to your local paint store and ask if they can match it reasonably close? Or go through their many paint chips searching for it yourself.

Your right, it’s too dark for medium and too light for dark olive. Looks like someone had had a gallon of each color.

Haha. That’s what I thought when I first saw it. Mix them both and that’s what you end up with.

Me too. Blue is my favorite but it was green originally and I’d like to get it back to at least close to original.

Damn Jeff- I hadn’t seen that color yet but after looking at the sample… I like it. I’ll have to keep that one in mind.

Your truck looks great and the paint looks great for being 35 years old. I wish mine had the clearance lights.
