Exact original paint color is a tough ask. Ford mixed batches of paint at the various assembly plants, with no guarantee every batch at every plant was actually the same shade. Next, the color chips are now 90 years old, with whatever changes have happened from ageing, regardless of how well they have been stored. The best you can do is find a color source you trust and have someone good at matching paint mix up some to match. The next best is to purchase pre-mixed if it is available and trust the supplier to have gotten it correct.
