the colors
 looked like on a web page.
 The page shows what DEC used and that was Munsell and/or Ostwald
 notation along with one Pantone and a couple paint manufacturers and
 colors. That is all documented in DEC Std092. There are many other
 color part numbers documented there, but most are references to OEM
 customer colors. 
Thank you!
That explains the discussion, and makes perfect sense.
I finally got around to looking at your page.  It is superb!
(And, The Red Car is a glorious memory of wonderful times)
It is especially amazing that the red pigment has held up so well!
