Original '47 2A Color - Picket Gray

I plan to have my 47 in paint this summer and like many of you, I'm struggling to decide on a color. Harvest Tan, Olive Drab, Pasture Green or Normandy Blue.
Now I'm thinking to also look at the original factory color of this 2A. In the attached photos, it sort of looks like Manila Blue to me - which is not listed as a 2A color for 47, but was for other 47 Willys vehicles. Either way, the original color seems to be obscure for typical 2A's. Was hoping the experts here could tell me the original color so I can add to my list of choices. If I can't decide, I figure I can't go wrong with the original color of this jeep. I also have a steel Keonig 1/2 cab to paint the same color. In some places there was a pale blue sprayed over a darker blue/gray color. The lower fire wall and trans tunnel looks like the original color. Let me know what you think! Thanks, John

Manila Blue?  I don't know this color. 

Agreed,  My 47 is that color and it's Picket Grey.  On a side note, my 46's original color was Normandy Blue which is very very close to my 2017 Silverado's Deep Ocean Blue. 

That grey has the slightly greenish look of Potomac Grey to me.  Picket Grey is a more definitely grey.  It looks like Potomac Grey to me, but it might be my monitor, too.

Thanks for the responses. Really glad to nail the color down as Picket Gray. I will be painting this color. I have been searching the internet for a current formula and can't find anything except the PPG/Ditsler code. Does anyone have a current formula they think represents Picket Gray? I have some old metal floor pieces with pretty good color I had to cut out so I will probably try to do a color match to the original paint samples.

Don, thanks for the help and advice. It took me longer to get to the paint stage than I planned! I have been sanding down to bare metal and have painted all the parts except the tub. Hope to paint the tub in the next 10 days / 2 weeks - before it gets too cold to paint. I'm using epoxy primer and acrylic urethane Picket Gray. The more I look at the color the more I like it. Lastly I'll paint the wheels Harvard Red. Can't wait til it's done. John

Don't worry, the red wheels with black pinstripe will be the icing on my Willys cake! I will post photos of it.

Max, I ended up ordering from TCP Global out of San Diego. They have the Willys colors and I'm happy with the Picket Gray from them. I ordered their epoxy primer and acrylic urethane. Check them out online. John
