I think my car has a fairly common paint scheme and these are FORD colors.
Please help. I need some touch up paint.
Thanks

This car looks like it is Chickle/Copra Drab, BUT it does not matter for the purpose of getting some touch up paint. There is no official "book" that one can go to and get some codes or secret formula to exactly match the paint that is on YOUR car.
You need to have a paint shop scan your car and match to it. Then spray a small test panel and compare it yourself to the car in outdoor light. If the paint's not quite a match, they can tweak the mix to match better.
It may never be a perfect match.
