Default Paint code puzzle - I'm stumped...

I did the search on here, and followed all the suggested links I could find, to no avail. The lookup books at the auto parts store have come up empty as well. You get an "A" for the day if you can help me with this one:

'92 Blazer (full-size)
U8624 = Olympic White
L6270 = ????? (BTW the color appears to be a dark charcoal metallic, but I'll be damned if I can find the "official" GM color name)

Thanks in advance.

Show-off I guess that's why you're in charge...

Thanks for the quick response. I wonder why the "official" sources on-line, and the Duplicolor catalog, don't list this? It must be pretty obscure, which means Good Luck to me in finding any touch-up paint anywhere. But thanks again for solving the mystery.

The actual paint code is WA20EM6270. It should be available from any one of a number of touchup suppliers...

Not sure of the actual paint formula as I'm not sure what the original supplier is...

In fact, I just ordered some online from a Site advertiser for this forum. Funny, I spent all last night searching online to no avail. Then I post a question here on this great forum, and you all answer my question easily and I have an online order completed already. Should have started here....lesson learned. Thanks again.
