Checking the dash may be an option but there could also be a different green used on dash vs outside. There are several shots of a green/white Caribbean in the 54 photo archive & while those greens appear to be fairly close, a 54 Pacific I had which appeared to be original paint was a lighter green dash & interior vs outside was solid color darker green. I don't know if that type two tone interior vs exterior was an option.

In 54 they apparently introduced after production started a one year only green called Gulf Green Poly (metallic) code J. That color didn't even appear on many paint charts. I think it may have been the one used on Caribbeans, and to my mind one of the prettiest greens Packard ever had.
