No worries....even Olds people call them "special-order" colors because that's what it says in the catalog back in the day. But all 4 colors were RPO, so I tend to lean towards the other side of the semantics.

Don't quote me on this, but I'm relatively sure there are instances when these 4 colors received the proper color code. Certainly it's an example how Oldsmobile was a unique company, just like all of GM's decentralized brands, and they each operated a little differently. But I don't have the answer to this, so it's just speculation.
