Does anyone have codes - Pantone numbers, or something

commercial paint names, for the following shades of DEC paint:
pdp-15 'powder blue'
pdp-10 dark blue
pdp-12 green
The light, very slightly creamy, grey paint used for front panel frames,
RA8x disk drives, etc.
Have some restoration to do!
Any local paint store or paint department in the local hardware store
should be able to do a computerized paint match if you bring in a sample.
I used Behr color swatches from the Home Depot to match the colors for the
PDP-1 replica I did and they came out *very* close.
