1972 K5,

I find it interesting your option code decal calls your 504 color, medium olive green.....but OMJ's 1972 Blazer brochure color chart calls it willow green. I have seen it as medium olive ( not willow green ) on photos of the option code decal on the inside of the glovebox door. I saw a photo of the 511 ochre ( mustard ) color couple of weeks and I think it is the same color called wheatland yellow on OMJ's brochure. Maybe General Motors wanted to use fancy names on advertising and marketing materials. Probably another example of one department in a large corporation not knowing what another department is doing and or not doing. Anyone with a blue Blazer or pickup out there? What is the name and the color code listed on the option decal in the glovebox? I'm going to guess / bet it's not hawaiian blue or mariner blue, but medium blue, bright medium blue...something like that.
