Im Just cant decide what color to paint my '61 Plymouth. Attached is the OEM color sheet and a pic of several cars painted the colors. It has to be one of those colors, but which one?? Im leaning toward cherry red or pale jade (original color, labeled "luminous green poly" in the 2nd pic).

Paint it according to what VIN plate calls for.
Will help to retain it's value, if any.

Green it is then! I believe its quite a valuable car. 18,000 2 doors made that year. Has the original slant-6 and 3 speed trans.

How original are you trying to keep it? If you insist on AN original colour, you might as well go for THE original colour.

Good point. Its my great uncles now(will be given to me) and its highly unlikely that it'll ever be sold. I do want it to stay close to original, unless its gonna cost an excessive amount.
