Factory Paint?

I have found a list of factory paint for a 1972 Cutlass S. I'm trying to find out what original color my cutlass actually was. Is there an easy way to identify the color using the vin or something? I can't use the paint chip to identify the color, because there are three colors on it that are just shades away from one another. I can't tell which matches my paint.

My VIN# : 3G87H2R136943

The VIN won't tell you, but the body data plate will. Look on the cowl above the brake booster. The paint code is identified by the PNT designation.
