Paint Color:

I sent in a paint chip that my wife (and Design Field Marshall) Carey, found at OSH. It was a Dutch Boy Dimensions Metallics Art Nouveau Vine ME09. Mark at Rivendell said he found a matching color in a car paint book and gave that color to Joe Bell. It's as close to an exact match as I can detect with my eye.
