Did Oliver change the colour of their paint from the 1950&#039;s tractors to the later 1960&#039;s models?  I have an 1800 checkerboard, and the paint is really close to JD Green (yes, I&#039;m one of THEM), but some old 66 parts appear to be much darker.  Looking at pictures on the oliver gang website, the later ones appear to be a lighter shade.  I bought some off brand JD green paint, (Serif, from TSC) and it was too dark for Deere Equipment, but yet it matches the Oliver 1800 perfectly.  Any info is greatly appreciated.
