Paint Code Help

Does anyone know where I can get the DuPont paint code for the white that is on this car? I think its Old English White but not sure. None of the paint shops around here can find that code. I have the code for the Healy Blue.
 
abnovak,
I see you received zero replies to your question, so I'll throw an answer out. While I don't have the DuPont codes I can give you some ICI codes which a DuPont seller can use. Problem is there were a couple of "whites" used on Healeys and if the car has been repainted, who knows what "white" might have been used. That said here are ICI codes for Healey "whites":
Old English White - ICI code 2122 (n/a)
Old English White - ICI code 2379 (BMC code WT.03)
Pale Ivory - ICI code 3487 (BMC code YL.01)
Snowberry White - ICI code 3012 (BMC code WT.04)
Glacier White - ICI code 4309 (BMC code BLVC059)
Whitehall Beige/Nevada Beige - ICI code 3305 (BMC code BG.04)
And as I said, if it's been repainted, you would have to have a paint dealer do a color scan on it to match whats there.
Hope some of this helps.
 
I have a page from a DuPont Import Color book 1959-61 with the paint chips. I do not know if these numbers will help you out with the present day colors. They list two "Ivory" colors (246)82890 Ivory, for Austin Healey 3000 and
(246)83445 (and a second number for the same chip)
(93) 83445 for "Austin Healey 3000 (Sprite)"
These could be telephone numbers for all I know but that is what the paint chip book says. Hope it helps. You may also want to try https://autocolorlibrary.com
