The 70 CSM shows Nugget Gold 53, Aegean Aqua 38, and Sebring Yellow 51 were the all series special order colors.
Toronados had their own set of Toro-only special order colors: Grenadier Red 74, Cinnamon Bronze 68, Regency Rose 76, Oxford Gray 16, Viking Blue 26, Ming Jade 46 and Sandalwood 61.
Grenadier Red showed up as Cranberry and Autumn Maple for all series in later years, and Viking Blue became one of the 71-72 all-series special order colors. It became a regular order color in 1973 along with a whole series of Service Guild and Tech Bulletin articles on how to match it in collision work. Seems it was very sensitive to gun pressure.

Grenadier Red 74
At the Hurst Olds Day show this year there was a 70 Cutlass in Grenadier Red
The toro color! owner claims to have GM documentation that it is legit and came from the factory that color. The car has been nicely redone. I wish I had a picture of it
