Have been researching, pulling parts, chasing parts, and taking notes on '71 233's since the late 80's.
On '71 & 71 1/2 GT-37s have solid info on nearly 1/6 of the entire years production.

On '71 233 series 2 doors, compiled data is pointing to Rosewood Poly being the least ordered color.
Nordic Silver is also seldom seen.

The more common '71 233 colors I've recorded include:
-Cameo White
-Tropical Lime
-Lucerne Blue
-Quezal Gold
-Cardinal Red
-Limekist Green
-Castillian Bronze (but not on GT-37's, just 233's.)

In respect to 53-53 paint code '71 233 2 doors, have parted on well over 2 dozen in yards and a few being my own partscars. One of the oddest '71 LeMans 23537 parts cars I ever hauled in was a factory 2 tone Quezal gold with Aztec gold painted roof car. Would have loved to have been there when that one was ordered, just made little sense.
