gobsow,

I don't know if there is a 100% right color scheme for it, but the majority of them that I have seen are orange with a black top. I found that Chevrolet engine orange seems to be the right color. It is easy to find and doesn't cost alot. You can even get reproductions of the original decals that were on the canister and lid.

I hope this helps.
