If you just want a small amount to touch up, you could investigate 1970s Fiat Amaranth, but beware, there are several different shades of Amaranth!
Many years ago I had this Ruby:

I was able to get an exact match for the original maroon from the area under the wings badge on the radiator grille, and Fiat Amaranth fitted the bill. The end result was in my opinion spot on:

Unfortunately there was severe corrosion on the roof where the original owner had wrapped the car in blankets before abandoning it in the garage for twenty years, so a couple of years later i had to respray it. Amaranth was duly ordered and applied, only to discover that it was a completely different colour:
