Canadian Green Color?
 

7 Attachment(s)
I have photos on file of a very nice 1928 original Model A roadster that is in a shade of green that I think is Canadian specific, though I could be wrong.

Just today, I found another Canadian car (this time a 1931 pickup) that's the same color scheme and appears to be the same color.

What I'm wondering is: what color is this? It's kind of a green with a hint of blue...or at least that's what I'm seeing. Now that I've gotten better photos, it's easier to try and figure it out.

Any help and ideas are appreciated.

I'd say Hessian Blue! or Gray Green! There is a duchess blue too!

Rock Moss Green?

It's hard because pixels are not a good transfer of color tone.

Rock Moss Green is not the only truck color - but it is probably the majority of trucks.

It could be "Evergreen" that is one of 13 Canadian Colours. PPG Delfleet Code #413400
This is quite dark.
Rock Moss Green is probably what's on your P/U.

American colors are described at https://www.mafca.com/tqa_paint_charts.html

My truck (avatar) is March '29 and while brush painted green in the pix was actually "gunmetal blue" underneath. Assembly was at Somerville, MA - but they wouldn't do colors there except for "custom."
