Default stock paint colors

I know this forum is for mostly stock Model A's but here is a picture of my '30 coupe that I recently purchased. is this a stock color for a model A? I seem to remember one close to this. any opinions would be appreciated.

I agree with "rip"......Kewanee Green or Elkpoint Green. I don't know the paint code numbers. But try the Kewanee Green on this site and compare.

Thanks guys, I will contact Sacramento Ford as suggested. From the pictures everyone posted it looks like the Elkpointe green. Idaho Brett, thanks for the compliment.
