I've been doing a little research paint colors for authentic looking clones for Neve and Pulse Technologies gear (Pultec).
I have had no luck at all finding out what color was used on the Pultecs. Does anybody know? Considering the era Pultecs were made I assume they used an off the shelf automotive or military colors. My next step is to hire an EPQ-1A and take it down to an industrial paint store to get the color computer matched.
I had a lot better time finding the Neve colors. As per Geoff Tanner:
Here is their webstore http://www.whiteensignmodels.com/acatalog/index.html?http%3A//www.whiteensignmodels.com/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_RAF_Fleet_Air_Arm_128.html&CatalogBody

After a web search I came across an English model company that makes accurate RAF paints. They sell RAF Blue Grey and Extra Dark Sea Grey.Back at the Neve factory major changes had taken place with a complete re-styling of the product range into "New Appearance Design" (NAD). The RAF Blue Grey paint work was replaced with Extra Dark Sea Grey, the Marconi control knobs were replaced with a custom Neve designed version, and all the lettering changed from upper case to lower case. The circle of dots around the control knobs also changed to a divided part circle. An easy way to establish a module's paint colour is to check if the module number has a 3 prefix. A 1084 module is RAF Blue Grey, a 31084 is NAD Extra Dark Sea Grey.
