No, not according to Crayola! What is the color of your Oldsmobile according to GM? Here's a link to a color chip library if you don't know the GM color (don't tell us or we'll make fun of you).
My 71 98 is Sandalwood. I repainted it over 10 years ago with Nason single stage paint while taking an evening auto body course.
Make sure you post a picture or we'll @$$ume your Oldsmobile is non-metallic white, with white wheels, white-wall tires, no glass and a white interior.
Similar story to Olds64: Did body & prep work taking a night course back in '86, had helpers who didn't have a car to work on. Had a pro lay down the base/clear.

My '71 convertible was 53 Saturn Gold from the factory and I repainted it with Martin Senour acrylic enamel 53 Saturn Gold in 1998. I didn't paint the forward inside of the door jambs as the new paint was a perfect match.
Here are 2 pictures from my posting (1st car after getting married) Original paint and stripes with 265,000 miles, it really needs a buffing and wax job. While I can do the waxing, the buffing is beyond my level.
Originally ordered in Sable (brown). Nobody knows why. PO repainted it in Resale Red (actually a reasonable approximation of
Crimson) and I'm pretty happy
about that.

Right you are Johnny. I did all the body work on my 71 98 and had the instructor spray the body. The only parts I sprayed were the fender skirts.
My '67 Cutlass actually left the factory with a white paint job, white top and white interior. Then in mid 90s the car was "restored" with a complete change over to it current colors.
This car was originally bronze with a white top. (UGH)
I like red. So I chose a '60 to '62 Olds Garnet mist code L.
I liked it better than the '63 maroon.
It's coming together soon.

A really faded Nocturne Mist code BB repaint around 1983.
Right now it is in the middle of a complete frame off restoration. I am going to have it painted the same Original color.
Picture is before I started.
What color is it not. Front fenders black. Doors primer gray . Rear quarters primer and black. Trunk black. Hood I believe is sennia. Don't forget the passenger side yellow sport mirror.

sharp 👌🏽 what size are your wheels and tires? I’ve got a 68 Delmont I’m looking to do a similar package, after market paint matched steelies with some Olds caps from a 69

The 1969 design is so fluid. The understated, simple wheels compliment the curves of the car. The redline tires make the blue pop out even more. Your paint and body work are outstanding.
The 1969 442 may be Oldsmobile's most beautiful car of that era. And yours is one of the best. Well conceived and well done!
