Jim,
I am pretty sure (from photos, catalogue literature, and a list on Whitney's
site (www.jps.net/haist/artdeco/index.htm )) that the emerald green is the
appropriate color. When I get the formula and paint, and if you want, I'll
give you enough to paint the molding as a Hanukah present.
Greetings to all,
Michael Lubitz
