Also worth remembering that enamel and early cellulose paints were far from colour stable, in particular reds! The showroom colour would mellow over the passing years. I am told by an enamel paint expert that it reaches the "designed" colour at about 2-3 years old. At the end of the day you just have to pick the colour you like, probably won't be right, but it won't be wrong either ;-)
