It's my very first restore and the truck has 41,000 original miles. The truck belonged to my wife's grandmother who bought it new in Mabank, Texas. I'm doing everything I can to restore it back to it's original condition. The cab and chassis is at the body shop and they are just about ready to paint. Now to my question.

The original paint color was desert beige but when I went to the auto paint store there is not a mixing code in today's paint to match. He even called a couple of paint manufacturers and they both said the same thing. Has anybody found a paint color that comes close to matching desert beige in today's modern paints????? Thanks in advance for any help you might give me....
