There is no hint of green in my pale yellow '60 TR-3A. It's a yellow
tint, meaning it's yellow mixed with white.
Joe Curry cites 82043 as the Ditzler number for Pale Yellow and the
Moss catalogue cites 81168. Joe emailed me that Ditzler numbers are
significant because PPG can match them. Also, PPG can match the color of a
decent sample.
