Specific color?

Does anyone know what color this is according to the GM color code? I saw a picture of the delta 88 postcard and fell in love with the color. If not, maybe you guys can help with some suggestions for color since i have a vinyl top and its a light blue almost Grey what color would complement it best?

Not sure what year that car is, but I see paint chip charts on Ebay all the time for different model years. The paint stores don't seem to go back more than about 20-25 years or so. Other than that, just pick a color you like and go with that. Chumley

I believe that's a 1982 D88. If so, the paint chart is here:

Paint stores like PPG dealers have color charts vs. year, brand of car, and can mix whatever you need. You can also look at the paint chips and decide exactly what you want from them.

You'll never find the exact color from that illustration. It's an advertising department artist's rendering and can be considered as only visually close to any paint color actually used on a production car.
