Color was part of a "spring promotion" offered by GM, most likely Canada only. same deal as my lime green. They were factory offered colors, although Dupont has no records of these Lucite shades in their archives, so matching is by guess or maybe with the new color sensing guns in use now. I have owned some lime trucks, seen a few pink, never a mauve or green metallic, and they were all 1971 models. My Oh Green is non metallic lime, just as the pink is also non metallic. This help any?
