Jim,
I took a look on ebay... Looks like "Tru Color" has some paint that's supposed to match: https://www.ebay.com/itm/186109130388?_s...BM9pG4icNm

Jim: I looked up the Model Railroader Blue Book (ca.1960) and found mixing formulae for Floquil, Roundhouse, and 410M. Do you have any of those left in stock?
The Floquil formula was 4 reefer white, 1 reefer gray, and 2 drops reefer yellow per 1/4 tsp. The proportions for other brands were quite different.
