Here's an original sample from an RP door cap -
It is by no means a "faithful" reproduction but keep in mind this is somewhat magnified, you also can't see from the photos that it's buried under a smooth gloss varnish, so it does give an impression of being polished mahogany or something of the sort.
Colour reproduction on computer screens is a fickle thing, but I took a sample to my local paint shop and they produced a Fiat red which is a very near match for the base colour (it's not unlike red oxide). I have yet to match the other hues, or to figure out how to apply them for the same effect - bristle brushes are probably the answer, but for now I have more urgent projects demanding my attention.
