I looked and found some spray paint at the local paint shop. It is "saddle tan" and is made by SEM. The paint is made for vinyl and plastic is seems to be more durable, and doesn't have the high sheen like the lacquers and enamels have. I compared it and it's darn close. I used it on the bows and steering columns on the last 3 I did.

I bought a new rear window from Lebaron Bonney and the inside frame was the correct color as it matched some original paint on the inside of one of the top bows. The paint store matched it. Later I received a no. which is a Ditzler or PPG #DAR25319 for a Mercedes tan.
Hope this helps.
