33-34 Base Coat Color On Woodgrain Dash?

[My3window]

I recently found a copy of Bob Dunham's book entitled Woodgraining A New Approach and I would like to try woodgraining my 34 dash. My problem is I do not have an original painted piece on my dash or garnish molding to match against for a base coat color. Has anyone out there tried their own woodgraining using a base coat color that closely resembled the color on 33-34 Fords? Having that paint code would certainly help with my winter project.
Thank you
