Correct 850 colors

[kew71]

What is the correct red and correct gray for an 850?

The red is vermillion which is darker and almost cherry colored compared to the red that was used on an 851 which is more orange. CNH carries only the 851 red. The gray is much darker than the gray that CNH wants to sell you, and also darker than the nearly white gray that Ford changed to in 1964.

Here are pics of cans of the colors that I bought for an 871 about 35 years ago. I recently had Sherwin Williams color match some acrylic enamel to use on an 861. I don't think Ford still carries the colors but these I am sure are the correct colors for 1959-1962 800 series. The red is sometimes referred to as red/orange and the gray has some beige in it.

Those are correct for an 871 but not an 850.
