I love this subject!
I have a 1986 Buick Exterior Colors sales brochure that lists all the colors (it has actual paint chips inside) and specifically what was available on the T Type.
So here they are;
White - code 11
Silver - code 12
Gray - code 15
Black - code 19
Light Blue - code 25
Dark Blue - code 31
Cream Beige - code 54
Light Brown - code 58
Brown - code 62
Rosewood - code 71
Dark Red - code 79

Wow! I just realized there were 11 different colors. If you just guess that they were evenly distributed that would be roughly 175 each color for the T Types. Some of the colors seem a more popular and some less so you can get a rough idea.

These were the generic names but the codes are the same across GM lines.
For example Light Brown is more commonly refered to as Light Chestnut.

I looked all over and others have asked Kirban as well but the answer comes back the same as what was mentioned; there just weren't detailed enough records.
