if your trying to match a color on your car, a good body shop or auto body supply store should be able to scan a panel on the car and get a good match.
If you're re-doing a whole car, buy a copy of the paint and refinish guide from one of the Model A clubs. There are color samples in the book that those shops should also be able to scan and come up with a formula to match.

I had to re-do hood panels on our truck, which was restored 48 years ago, and a local body shop came up with an excellent match!

Best Regards,

Stew
