1959 chevy apache original paint scheme

Good day,

One of the trucks we have has gotta go up for sale, 59 chev swb, big window, original v8 truck. We are going to get it painted the original tartan turquoise. In some places online that colour seems a bit more blue (preferred and what is currently on the truck in certain areas when you take some grey paint off) and other places it looks more green. A simple google search of that colour on that truck brings up both the green and blue tints. Which one is it?

Also, I have a question as to the Bombay ivory/white that goes around the grill. Is only the inner lip of the grille surround white, or does the white continue in further? In the one pic, the lower half of the truck is actually white, so is that why the white continues further in behind the grille? If we only paint that inner lip, what colour does the rest get painted behind the grille, black or the colour of the truck?

Thanks for your help.
