Default New 08' color paint codes?

I've been looking all over online to try to find Dupont paint codes for other gm vehicles to find what the new blue and red will look like exactly for the 2008 C6/Z06s. I know GM uses the same paint across the line with different marketing names, but the same oem paint codes.

I found a website with corvette paint codes, but the two new colors have never been used before on a vette. I'm almost positive they have on other gm vehicles, if not the blue has on maybe some of the vans.

The new blue is 85U and the red is 89U .

Maybe someone else knows how to find the paint codes for Dupont on other gm vehicles?

89U comes back as GM Autum Maple Metallic (Pontiac Firebird) which is a deep red maroon

This makes sense to work as a "Crystal Claret" to replace Monterey Red

85U comes back as GM Medium Desert Orange Metallic (Hummer) and Medium slate gray metallic (Corvettes and Pontiac Firebird '98)

This makes no sense at all.
