Which Colour?

[chrmar]

I am going to have to do a bunch of painting to replacement components for my truck, maybe even a full re-spray. The problem is I'm finding conflicting information on what colour my truck actually is. It is a 1998 GMC and according to the paint codes it was originally Copper Metallic Upper (WA281E) and Light Autumnwood Metallic Lower (WA228A). Now, the RPO code for the lower matches (55L), however the upper colour RPO (69U) is listed as either Medium Beechwood Metallic or Dark Chestnut, depending on where you look. Or have I not dug deep enough and RPO 69U for a 1998 GMC was Copper Metallic?

I came up with medium beechwood metallic.

Where did you find that? I based the Copper Metallic on this thread. Medium Beechwood looks to be a lot lighter than my truck...

It doesn't matter what the color is called, you order it by the code number.
