Paint code

Is there anyplace other than my glovebox to find the paint code?

Truck was poorly painted white. I can still see some blue behind the den, under the headliner, and under hood. Chevy seemed to have 4 similar blues in 1979 but when I looked up GMC for 1979, it only listed one color Medium blue; 27 or 6208. I bought a rattle can of touch up but it looks too dark and a little too metallic and compared to existing (albeit old and faded) old color has more of a green hue.

Is the difference new vs. very old/tired paint or incorrect code? Need to find alternate paint code location to tell.
