1983 paint codes

I have a 1983 firebird S/E which is brown. I have looked for the paint code on it but cannot find it. I have checked in the centre console lid and it is not there but i do have the original build sheet and it is showing on there 67L and 62M as it has a different colour on the lower section. What colours would this be?

Thanks for the info navy02ws6 and do you know if the L and M have any significance?

"L" is usually Lower, which means color of the part of the car that's closer to the ground. Usually "U" (upper) is used for the other color that's closer to the sky, at least on Corvettes. Not sure what "M" is though.
