                Here are a couple of notes I found but I'm not sure of the
dates for these comments.  I also do not know if the phone #s are correct

 

The PPG Color Library has catalogues of colors going waaaay back. If you
give them the year make and model, they can look up any color and give to a
modern paint number to match, as well as the original paint code in PPG
paint.

We regularly get paint codes or their modern equivalents (called offsets)
for cars back into the early 30's thru the Ditzler Color Library. Have your
supplier phone them at 800-647-6050. Not sure they will give info to a
private citizen or if you have to be a shop but worth a try. For example, in
1931 Chev used a "Cellini Green" on wheels. Same color was used on '68 VW as
"Sumatra Green". If you have the color name and/or the application they can
likely help you.

I have 2 modern paint codes that I believe work.

Yes, it would be very nice to have a complete listing of modern paint codes
for Rootes vehicles.

I'd be interested in hearing if someone comes up with a modern paint code.
My car is supposed to be Midnight Blue, but was stripped and repainted red
back in the mid '70's, so I don't have a spot where I can have the paint
shop scan the old paint.
