Where is the paint code located on a Challenger?

Just trying to figure out what color my 73 Challenger should be. I decoded all of the numbers on the tag, but none of them seem to be a color number, unless I screwed up.
Here's the tag.

I seem to be able to find everything but your paint. I think it's the V5X, but I'm not sure. There used to be a way better decoder online than what I'm currently finding. I looked at this one, but it doesn't actually list paint colors

Then there's this one, but it doesn't go to 73.

I could have sworn there used to be a good one on Cudaworld in the past, but I don't see it now.

You should try to remove something like the trunk lid latch or strike to see what color the paint is underneath, unless it was removed when it was repainted.

ChallengerGary has the correct code.
At first it looked like the factory messed up and had G35 (tinted glass, all) listed after G37, but the more I looked at it, it's definitely a "B" and not a "3".

Thanks. I thought it was G35 also.
Does anyone have a picture of what color blue this is?

B5 Blue. Usually considered a high impact color.
