random, but anybody know what color this is?

Hey guys. I mostly post over on the pregnancy board and once in a while stray Chat Icon so if you don't recognize me that's probably why. lol. Wondering if anybody over here could help me...

My husband has a '72 Ford that he's getting ready to paint. While looking at pictures online, this one defintiely intrigued us, but we can't figure out what color it is. Some kind of blue? Maybe dark teal? Anybody recognize this color and know what it's called?

Do you know what year the car is from? It would be easier to locate the color chart from the year. I found this link with color charts by year. I think it looks like either Caribbean Turquoise or Holly Green.http://www.classictruckshop.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/107

Also this book lists the classic ford colors: http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Pickup-Trucks-1948-1956-History/dp/0760304831#reader_0760304831

ETA: This is the chart from 1972 for colors.chart


Ok this looks like a 1953 or 54 ford truck. This is the color chart for 54.http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8608559

From the last chart it looks like mountain green or regatta blue.
