Joseph is right and was talking about the Navy scheme as well.  That era it was a grey color that looked green or blue in some lights.

FS 16081
Engine Grey

I'm assuming you're meaning the overall color of the helicopter fuselage.  You need FS16081 Navy Gray for that Navy color scheme.  In real life it's a gray that has a greenish blush to it in certain lighting conditions.  Testors has this color in both its enamel and acrylic lines.

If its a simple overall green USMC bird, it should be 34097.
