Upper and lower paint codes are the same

I was looking up the color codes on my camaro, my glove box label has upper and lower as wa848 black.

what color code is the gold ground effects? Does this mean my car was black with black ground effects? Seems like a stretch as ive seen other black on gold camaros.

also If I read correctly, are the wheels and geound effects different colors of gold? I think the ground fx is goldwing metallic and the wheels are california gold.

Your RPO sheet should show what color your stripe is, my TA does. It list my car as U8554,L8554 and it's all white ground effects too,then I have a stripe listing of 80A(STRIPCOLOR ACCENT 2TONE RED/DARKSAPHIRE)

I guess the codes toward the end of the list would be colors, since I cant find the RPO definitions of them?

I ordered a can of the OER california gold from jegs to try on my valve covers, but still cant confirm the ground FX is the goldwing metallic or not.
