Help needed to figure out paint color.
I am trying to figure out the original color of my 51 Super. It looks to read 6I but hopefully someone with better eyes then I can help figure it out. From the trunk interior and door jambs, it looks to be an olive green, but not 100%. I will attach a pic of the code along with another sticker that is on the windshield. Not sure about its meaning for sure either. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The parts book has #61 as Newport Gray Opalescent for 1951
#62 is Jefferson Green Opalescent for 1951

Thanks for looking that up. Any idea what it means to have the paint being "porcelainized"? Or is that like we powder coat things today?0

Probably a fancy polish of the day. Long gone by now.
Powder coating is a powdered color that is applied on a bare surface and heated to 380 to melt the powder onto the metal. Used to coat smaller pieces and very different than paint and much harder.
