What colors is this two-tone truck?

I'm trying to make the decision about what colors to paint my truck which will be a color change. Narrowed it down as shown but need to know what colors these are. I think the darker color is Lime Green Iridescent, not sure about the lighter one. After looking at multiple paint chips for 1974 Ford there appears to be 3 or 4 lime greens. Anybody sure what colors these are?

I agree with the limestone green metallic. Here was mine after a polish for comparison. Here's what I'm currently painting it. I personally like the dark against lighter tu tones

Just my personal opinion, but not to many colors tu toned trip my trigger. A few work extremely well. Light and dark jade green, cream and gold. Lot depends on what it is on. Most colors tu tone with white very well. This is just my opinion.

The racertack trim package of this body style BEST lends itself to a two-tone paint scheme. I like most any color with white on these trucks. Just my $0.02 worth.
