FHD. U're chasing the wind. If u have an original paint sample from some easily removed part of the car that is a shade to your satisfaction then go have it CUSTOM MIXED at a REPUTABLE paint dealer by an EXPERIENCED paint mixer.

At this point i will not attempt to bore anyone with my experience on this topic or other makes that have had an ongoing color/shade controversy for over 30 years that i know of .

Either way, what u describe as correct mite be the same as "Cigarette Cream" as used on 36 and 37 Cords.

Your best bet is to have the paint SPECIAL mixed LOCALY.
I recomend a DuPOnt dealer. Take a sample with u. otherwise u're just chasing the wind. Also note that any Original sample mite also have changed a shade or two over more than 10 to 15 years.
