Benson Gray Canoe History Enthusiast Staff member Nov 2, 2018 #2 The Old Town paint charts at http://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?threads/7345/ seem to indicate that the Kirby #24 red at https://kirbypaint.com/products/kirbys-vintage-color-chart is close. I don't know of any source for a Penn Yan paint chart. My usual advice is to just pick a shade that you like since it will be very difficult to prove that it isn't original. Good luck, Benson
