Default 1969 Fathom Green Paint

I'm looking for help on 1969 Fathom Green Paint. My bodyman looked at two PPG versions. He picked the one with less metallic in the paint. As I looked at comparisions of both versions, the less metallic has a greener look. The more metalliac has a darker look. I think most of the cars I have seen have the more metallic/ darker look paint. Does anyone have suggestions on what is correct or if I should be looking at different manufacturers, etc. He already purchased 6 qts of the greener look paint.
I'm just not sure.

Thanks, Rick

I also do Chevrolets from the early 30s & the place where I have the best match to original is at Auto Color Library in Califonia. If you have any problems, ask for Jimmy Chips. Great guy....Joe
