Another option is to visit the longest-established autobody supply shop
you can find near you. There's a decent chance they'll have the old color
chip books going back to the 1950s or 1960s.
There are some color charts reproduced on the VTR site. With all due
respect :-) they are, at best, only somewhat representative of the actual
colors. (They've always looked dark to me on my computer.) Nice for quick
reference, but they're no substitute for good color charts, followed by
your reaction to the actual mixed color.
