Paint code
#2
Here's the 1970 Olds color chip chart. Nothing on there called "dark," "forest," or "metallic." Perhaps the Sherwood Green (code 48)? It's probably not #46 (Ming Jade) because that was a Toronado-only color according to the chart. But that's about it for the dark-ish greens.
This is not the greatest representation of the colors. You might want to get an actual color chip chart you can hold in your hand. They're likely available on ebay.

one of my "pet peeves" - those are PPG's names for the colors (or they substituted "poly" for "metallic" to avoid copyright or other disputes ??)
but 1970 OLDSMOBILE called paint code:
46 = "Ming Jade Metallic" * Toronado "only"
48 = "Sherwood Green Metallic"
& Sherwood is a royal forest in Nottinghamshire, England, famous by its historic association with the legend of Robin Hood
but 1970 OLDSMOBILE called paint code:
46 = "Ming Jade Metallic" * Toronado "only"
48 = "Sherwood Green Metallic"

I think Sherwood is the correct one. I appreciate all the replys
