I thought it looked like the old Detroit Diesel green that was used on the 2 strokes. The newer 4 stroke "60 series" are blue, kinda between the light and dark Ford blue.
If I ever have to pull my 300 out, I'll likely paint it Cat yellow with gloss black accents. It can't look any more out of place than the industrial gray that was used on it during the rebuild before I bought it. 1980 should have been blue, and the intake still is......
Why Cat yellow? Because I have always had a healthy respect for Cat engines, and the 300 is about the only gas engine that can come close to strength and durability of a Cat diesel.

I agree about cats, nothing like em. to bad them kitties are so thirsty. about the opposite of a gutless fuel sipping detroit (60 series, I have only ever been around one "screaming jimmy" an 8v71- also known as a 318). speaking of which, back in the early 70's my granddaddy drove a kenworth cabover with a jakeless 318 and a 4+4. pulled double tankers all over the colorado mountains with it.
-sorry for the highjack BTW
and if you search around on here, there was somebody that painted one up in yellow/black
