I don’t know if there is a corporate color matching service.  It is possible to visit an automotive body/paint supply store where they might have a computerized camera that can take a pic and provide the precise mix that will match that exact color.  There is usually a minimum quantity and it won’t be cheap…  $100.00/qt or something like that last time I checked.  They might also have a stock color booklet with sample chips that can get very close without the computer customization. I’ve had them pop some of those paints in to a custom spray can which is convenient if you don’t have a spray gun…  Shoot, even the corporate paint match (if available) might not perfectly match if the board has faded due to UV exposure.

Could you post a pic?

What John said, and I’ll add you might try a good house paint store or hardware store  that does paint. My local Ace Hardware is good with that. They work with pigments blended in various proportions to make a duplicate color or custom colors, usually with a ‘neutral base’ paint. Some have camera rigs for color matching, most have lots and lots of color cards. 

Take some baby food jars, just get pigments or a bit of the ‘right’ pigment blend. Maybe some white too, to approximate the neutral base? I have found house paint pigments worked very well indeed with epoxy and polyester resins. I also found that beer is a good medium of exchange with hardware store guys. 

How have you been, Ambrose? Hope all’s well
