The Ford Barn

I am disassembling my Early 30 Standard Fordor and wanted to paint it in an original color. i think the color I have picked will be Chicle Drab and Copra drab with Straw wheels. My concern is that there is a post here that caught my interest about three versions of the colors. I want to find a way to assure that I do not end up with a green tint. I want the browner tint or possibly the gray tint. The Model A paint and finish guide shows only one tint and it is a little darker than what I would like. I was ready to go with it but now after reading the post, I am wanting to assure that I end up with a browner version and definitely not any green tint. The gray tint may also be OK.

Any advise for me on this?
