I've seen several others like this, so I think it's factory. However when I try to match it to a paint code, nothing appears close.

I didn't see that in the 1968 colors, but it is a 1967. I've seen it on other '68s but not to say it's not a popular color for repaint. Or maybe they renamed it in 1968? Seems like the 1967 Tyrol Blue Poly could be close to the 1968 Alpine Blue Poly or Meridian Blue Turquoise

Funny thing is, when I google image search Pontiacs in those 3 colors, they don't appear the same shade as the link in my first post.

That '68 chart does not include Windward Blue, one of the special colors. See: 1968 PONTIAC SPECIAL ORDER EXTERIOR COLORS
