1955 pontiac paint code

[Fortuna]

I hope someone can help with a body tag. It's a 55 Pontiac Chieftan hardtop. Paint code on the tag is V77. I have several books, and this code doesn't make sense to me. Car was baby blue and white when it was new. Anyone understand this paint code?

 

Thanks, Fortuna

I have not had a chance to look through my books but I checked http://www.pontiacsafari.com and V77 would match up with 5577 from the manuals.  It is a "baby blue" (lower) and a very light grey (upper) with red wheel.

Marietta Blue

Castle Grey

Thank you! I wonder why they would use V77 ob the tag, and 5577 in the ordering manual and all other info? Confusing. Thanks for your help.
