I don't see a green by that name listed.
There is Brewster green, a dark green with the wide body moulding painted a lighter green.
Also Apple Green, a medium light green with a white stripe.

Brewster green would have had Gigolo green striping, Terrace green - Dryad green, Spruce green - Nankeen green, Silver Gray green - Rally orange, Kashan green - Primrose yellow, Alpine green - Primrose yellow. That's all according to Chevs of the 40s. They list color combinations '37-'54 and I don't see a color by that name in any of those years.

most of the colors listed above are passenger car colors and not truck/commercial.

Here's a neat reference I found. The color you see on your computer will depend on your video card driver and monitor settings.

OK guys here is my confession; when I met my, actually I think she met me, wife I had a 1939 Pontiac coupe painted metallic 52 Chev green. When it came time to paint the 38 chev PU I got melancholy and allowed her to choose, foregoing the original green, and she selected the 1970 Cadillac Nottingham metallic green, very similar to the 39 Pontiac, and a slight brighter than the original color of the PU, but retain the black fenders
Some of the colors I saw on the charts don't seem to be compatible, the reason for the request of assistance.
And thanks for any additional suggestions.
