Question What color is it, silvertone gray??

Hello
Years ago my truck, a 50 model, was wrecked and the front sheetmetal was replaced with a 51 model. The whole truck was painted light gray. The vin plate for a 50 model is vauge at best so I tried to find the original color. The 51 sheetmetal appears to have been black. That did me no good because it was not original to the truck. I think I have found the original color behind the seat. At first I thought the light gray was dirty but on a closer look it appears to be aged paint. The color is a light shade of gray with a hint of green, blue, and yellow. It is a very hard color to describe. It is like you see light gray and think about a subdued minty green, a very pale sky blue, and a warm yellow all mixed together to make this light gray. Is this Silvertone Gray? I have seen trucks painted Sheridan Blue, Vermillian, and other 50 colors but I have never seen the gray. Are color chips available? Does anyone have a photograph of a Silvertone gray truck?
Thanks for any comment.
