Default Can someone give me an idea of bramble brown?

I did some photoshopping to my car to get an idea of what the different color schemes originally available to my car would look like. I have never seen Bramble Brown nor have I seen any kind of color chip for it.

So I want to know how close I got to it in this picture, I know colors can look different from monitor to monitor, but any opinion would be appreciated.

Cacey

P.S. If you would like to see the others I did please ask.

I have not heard of a Bramble Brown in any US Model A colors - maybe Canada. Are you possibly thinking of Rose Beige/Seal Brown? If so, the Seal Brown was only used on the upper body on the Fordor. MAFCA has a color chart available. You might want to get ahold of one of those.

I guess I have to update my reference materials. i was looking in "The Ford Model A As Henry Built it," by George DeAngelis, Ed Francis, and Les Henry, and they don't list that color anywhere that I can find.

Well, to be specific, I have a 60-C and I found my color combinations in the Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards. I have some color chips, but none of that color, I suppose I will find someone who has the painting guide and I will look in there.

So far I like Rose Beige/Seal Brown and Bramble Brown/Thorne Brown but I am not sure of my guess at the color. Thanks for the help.
