Dodge Truck Dark Green is the most commonly found green shade on 1946-1953 Power-Wagons. It is a very "green" green and has a golden/bronze tint in the right light. It is not John Deere green, but much darker and deeper. It oxidizes to a dusty olive drab color but can easily by hand buffed back to it original tint. Above is an image of the interior windshield header panel on my '47 WDX showing the Dodge Truck Dark Green. Many 2wd Dodge trucks from the same years were painted this color.
Seawolf Submarine Green is a much more olive drab looking green. It has a lot of gray tint in it and oxidizes to an even more gray tint. The windshield wiper cover in the image above is Seawolf Submarine Green. Notice the stark difference between it and the Dodge Truck Dark Green.
Ponchatrain Green (aka Pine Green) looks more like the green of Blue Spruce trees. It has a lot of blue tint in it. It is closer to the green that was used by International Harvester trucks of the '50s and Chevy trucks and vans into the '80s.
