I think question 3 is poorly worded. While realistically the architect would inform the GC, the only person who has a contract with the GC in the DBB delivery method is the owner. The owner should tell the GC to stop and change the paint. Even if the GC has more up-to-date information about the color, that is all the more reason to inform the owner. I don't trust anything the GC tells me, I'd want to hear that from the owner.

Great point. While going to the owner is the preferred means of communication, writing a letter can hold up construction. It is not the best solution. AIA B101 3.6.1.1/2 states that "The Architect shall provide administration of the Contract between the Owner and the Contractor...[and that] the Architect shall have authority to act on behalf of the Owner." Informing the GC of the discrepancy (and simultaneously notifying the owner) is the best answer in this scenario.
