Aloha Paul,
Here is a link to a page detailing the various colors and finish for all the bits in a MGTF Midget:
https://www.mgcars.org.uk/mgtf/mgtf_finishes.htm
The engine is about half way down the page and lists the color codes for these manufacturers, Dupont, Ditzler and R&M. As mentioned by others, several auto paint dealers can mix a rattle can in your color for a modest price. In Hawaii, I can get a 12 oz can for about $14.

BFM0288 (Dark Canyon Red), 3 cans ordered. Just too many variations and suggestions of the engine color to be accurate. So I decided to paint it Dark Canyon Red and let it go at that. The wife doesn't want me to paint the car a Red color, which is indicated by the original code, as we have one Red MG in the family now. She wants me to paint it Black with a Red interior. I'm not crazy about Black OR a Red interior. We'll see. 
Purple sounds good!
