I believe they are P39 Matador Red, P72 Frost White, and P2 Big Bad Blue. I'm sure some AMC Dork will correct me if I'm wrong..

TELEPHONE INTERVIEW WITH RONNIE KAPLAN of AMC SCCA TRANS AM RACING TEAM ORIGIN OF THE AMC RED, WHITE & BLUE PAINT SCHEME
Q: Now you mentioned Brook Stevens… A: R.E.K.: Right
Q: It has been reported that Brook Stevens came up with the red white and blue paint scheme for the TA Javelins. Is that true? A: R.E.K.: No, What happened there was that the people at the ad group, all the office people and design people and so forth, were entered in a contest to design a paint scheme, and AMC had Monogram made models of the Javelin. Everybody had a model and they painted it up with the various schemes. So we had a meeting in LA at the Century plaza, they had a big room they rented and all the models were displayed on the floor. Myself, the executive group out of AMC, Jeffords was there and representatives from Wells, Rich and Green, their ad agency. It was funny, we were a bunch of grown men drinking martinis climbing around on our hands and knees looking at toy models displayed on this floor. That's the real story… and the final choice was the red white and blue seen on the Trans-Am Javelins.
Q: Now did you agree with the choice of that paint scheme? A: R.E.K.: Oh yeah, it was easy. We could paint one red white and blue, nose first and one blue white and red. That's the way we ran the cars and it made it easy to identify them.
A: So it ended up being a member of their office who designed it? Q: R.E.K.: Right, I can't remember who it was but it was a member of their design group who put that scheme to it. A name like Alexander comes to mind but I wouldn't count on it.
