NOTICE:   EVERY MONITOR WILL SHOW A DIFFERENT COLOR! THERE ARE TOO MANY VARIABLES (BRAND OF MONITOR, AGE OF THE MONITOR, MONITOR SETTINGS, AMBIENT LIGHT, COLOR SURROUNDING THE CHIP, ETC ETC) TO JUDGE THE TRUE COLOR FROM THE IMAGE ON YOUR SCREEN. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY!

Here's a link to a page that will help you set up your monitor. It will get you close, but again, every monitor will look different. Color bars. My monitor had to have the 'brightness' turned up. (No it won't make this page seem more intelligent)

NOTICE:   IF YOU USE THESE FORMULA AND YOUR COLOR IS NOT 'RIGHT' IT IS YOUR FAULT. THESE MAY OR MAY NOT BE 'CORRECT'.  THESE FORMULA WERE FOUND ON THE NET AND AS SUCH MAY BE TOTALLY WRONG.

Also these formula may have been taken from the Ditzler model A paint book, which had colors that are known to be 'incorrect'.  They are meant to be a starting point only.  My recommendation would be to mix a small quantity and match the the color to the MAFCA "Paint and Refinishing Guide" yourself.(see my book recomendations).

Remember if these formula turn out to all be shades of pink..it's not my fault. Ok, now that we are clear on that....
