And how do we know if DEC maintained the same
reference colors throughout
their company history? And if so, perhaps they faded over time? Maybe
someone played shenanigans and switched them out with similar but
different colors at some point?
Who knows? Who cares! Color matching by eye is "good enough".
I have to agree. Judging from all of DECstuff I have seen over the years,
it seems like the paintshop used whatever paint and schemes they felt like
on any given day.
Matching paint by eye really is not too hard - just be prepared to waste
some paint if a mix goes wrong, and experiment quite a bit...
