Getting the car painted, and I rally like this color combination. Found it on google, and it's not from a forum. Any thoughts on what the colors are? The shop says they can match it, but I'd love some input. Is the darker color Steel City Grey? Any other thoughts?

p.s. sorry for small image, for some reason it uploads a smaller version than I have. If you want to look at a larger version google "c3 corvette paint jobs" and scroll down a quarter of the way. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Go to TCP Global and look through their color library and it will give you an idea what the color shades were like for the C3 Corvettes. Color shown on a computer screen will not be an exact match but the difference in them may help. My '72 was steel city gray and I believe the one you show is close.

Could be a C5 color, Medium Spiral Grey Metallic, with Blade Silver... That could be a VERY interesting combination with all of the MSG sparkle...
 
Looks like a light olive green and silver. Beautiful car!
 
Steel Cities gray and Nevada Silver maybe?
What a beautiful combo that is!

My '72 is Steel Cities Grey and at times it looks like it has some green in it, depending on the lighting.

It looks a bit like Spiral Gray from the C5's
