Alas, I fear every paint company's formula for a generic name, whether Old
English White, Blood Red, or Royal Windsor Blue is different.  Maybe just
slightly, but different.  Within a year and a half of the purchase of my
Sprite, my brother crunched the right front fender.  I hammered and bondo'd
it back the best I could, and tried several "Old English White" paints. 
None matched.  For over 40 years, I never let my brother forget it, so he
was very willing to bring his truck and race trailer to take the Sprite to
MAACO!  On the condition that I not mention it again.  I agreed.  I lied.
