The A-pillar tag on my 69 reads 62162-L which I believe is Velvet Green, a 66-67 color according March 2013 issue of Esses.
I just got the Kardex and it says I have 6861 Agave Green. Sticker just says Special Paint.
Pic of headlight bucket. Also have underside of the decklid and a lot of rear seat paint.
Any thoughts on the door tag not matching the Kardex? VIN and engine # match.

Shaun,
This is interesting.
6861 is Beige Metallic according to this thread (another 69 car):

I am wondering if 6861 designated a special order metallic, but not the color itself...
Can you post a picture of your paint tag?

PS - is your light bucket the only known sample of velvet green?

Thank you all Gentlemen, very interesting stuff!
Peter, the rear underside decklid still has some of the green and there's a lot of paint on the back seat/shelf pan. Car was painted black at some point and the body was taken down to bare metal. I have enough of the green to do a color match I think.
Bryce, I'll see if I can get a pic this weekend on the tag. Thought I had one but only found this.
Thank you Chuck!

Code 6861 is indeed a general code for special colors; I have several examples in my database now. It essentially preceded the 99 or 999 in the later code series to indicate a special color.
What your Kardex does is tie 62162-L code on the paint badge to a color descriptor agavengrün which translates to agave; I suppose we could also call this 'velvet green'.

"9369 Sond. Lak" is a direct reference to special paint.
This thread mentions the same 9369 Sond. Lak
