Hi;

Your Best Bet would be to make A Test Chip on A piece of white Card Board and run A Test and see if you can match it. If not then take it with you the Next Time that you go out to your Local Hobby Shop if you Have One. Then try to match it with either Tamiya, Testors, Model Masters, if you find A Color thats close then you can take it and then add A Color to get you Close. Mixing Colors to get A Match is not all that Hard, it just takes A Lil-bit-O practice.
I normally have Better Luck with Model Masters as they Have A Wider range of Colors.

GOOD LUCK; MIKE.
