Default 1970 Capri paint code 3 - peppermint green?

Hi,
I can’t seem to find any photos of a 1970 Capri painted peppermint green.
The id plate says paint code 3 and which seems to be peppermint or maybe silver fox.
Can anyone settle this debate and confirm?

According to my decoding sheets for the 1970 Capri, Paint Code 3 is indeed Peppermint Green (metallic). See attached.

cheers Terry
