You should have a metal plate on the driver's side door jamb near the latch
plate. The date (month and year) of manufacture should be stamped on it. For
example mine was manufactured in September of 1975 according to the date on
the plate. From what I have read the model year for 1976 started with cars
produced in August of 1975 and ended in December 1976. So I have a '76 model
year Midget, but it has the '75 anniversary dash plaque. The '77 model year
stared in December '76 and the '78 model year started August 24, 1977.

I love the over-lap between the two colors in 77....that's where my
confusion lies. I need to determine by my VIN somehow what color it is or
exactly what year it was built. I'll check when I get home. I'm thinking
Glacier White....

According to the website, for 1500's:
Glacier White (BLVC59) Until Aug '77
Leyland White (BLVC206) Aug '77 to June '78
[3] Porcelain White (BLVC243) June '78 on
3. Porcelain White was also known as Ermine White or Leyland White.
So, yours is most likely Leyland White (BLVC206), but could be Glacier White
(BLVC59) if it was produced prior to August '78.

How can I tell if I have "Glacier White, " "Leyland White," or "Porcelain
White?" Is there a specific number in the VIN? Mine is a 78 manufactured in
77.
