The Big 'Ol Paint Code Thread (NF56K)

I've been looking for some color ideas for my 244 and found this thread which features some great albeit unorganized information. I'm in a helpful and OCD mood right now, so I figure I may as well combine the two and organize. At the moment, I'm just taking and organizing the pictures from that thread, but I'm sure there are more than a few colors and names that were missed, so feel free to post up a picture and name of the color (As I'm doing) and I'll edit it into the appropriate post. I'm also well aware that I can barely tell the difference at this point between 7xx/9xx models, so feel free to correct me in that aspect if I screw up.

The yellow 245 with the 242 /single round HLs style grille is/looks to be Carlsbad Yellow.

I don't know the numbered paint code though. My 79 245 is Carlsbad Yellow.
