Hey Brad:
I would call the color of the 5th pic, the '67 fleetside, "Maui Blue." That's what color my '71 Jimmy is painted. [Aftermarket by the PO's father-in-law over the original GMC Bronze] But it is a GM metallic shade. No code number, though.
The first K/5 w/ the '68 clip looks Turquoise to me. It was popular in the '50s, and was a regular GM color.
The other '72 fleetside, in the showroom, I would call "Baby Blue." Probably GM called it Light Blue. a regular factory color. I have a '72 Blazer project in the back forty that's that original shade.
Of course these are my interpretations based on what these colors look like on my 17" laptop. Seeing something in real life and open sunlight could be another matter.
