This gold automotive paint color is most commonly known as Autumn Gold. Other common color promotional names include Burnished Gold, Gold, Granada Gold, and Harvest Gold. The color formulation has been used between 1970 and 1983, primarily by Chevrolet; but also by Buick, Chrysler, GM, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac. We have records of this color appearing on the following models: Camaro, Chevelle, ChevyII, Chrysler Special Order / Fleet, Firebird, GTO, and Nova. See the full detailed list below.

Some Chrysler paint manufacturing codes come in two forms, the short 1 to 3 digit model/year code which changes frequently and a longer code which does not change. One of these longer codes which we track is the DT or Dodge Truck or Fleet code. This code starts with the letters "DT" and ends in a 4 digit number. Codes in the DT6000 to DT6999 range are generally brown beige or gold shades. These DT codes do not change over the years for a particular paint formulation; therefore, it is the best code to track the usage of Chrysler paint. In many cases Chrysler has assigned DT codes to popular paint from other manufacturers to use as special order paints.

The DT paint set is one of the few that includes many of the official US Military paint colors.

In this case, DT6390 appears to be a special order paint for a popular paint named Autumn Gold by Chevrolet.
