How can I figure out the original color of a 1976 corvette?

I have a 1976 Stingray corvette that looks to me to have been repainted at one point. How can I go about figuring out the original color?

The body number plate is located on the engine side of the cowl. On this plate you will find the ten 1976 Corvette exterior colors:

* 10 = Classic White
* 13 = Silver
* 22 = Medium Blue
* 33 = Dark Green Metallic (however Dark Green was originally supposed to be code 39)
* 37 = Mahogany Metallic
* 56 = Bright Yellow
* 64 = Buckskin Metallic
* 69 = Dark Brown Metallic
* 70 = Flame Red
* 72 = Medium Red
