Yours is probably a RPO code R75 which = Blaze red and the interior choices with it were Black, Gray, Red, or Saddle.

If you still have your RPO tag... look at the bottom for your WA # and pick a winner from this...

Hey Deadbird,

How are you doing tonight? Nice list of paint codes there, hope you don't mind if I copy it. The info I have on his paint color is 75/8537 = Blaze red. Course it could be wrong

Feel free bud. What I posted is straight from the MOTOR Collision Guide for GM cars (granted it's quite aged but, the numbers don't change). I copied it for educational purposes only though...

Well at least we finally know that GA1 and GA2 are related to the rear axle. I'm surprised FA1 and FA2 aren't in that list anywhere.
