So Denny, what did you end up using? A custom mix or a formula that was close. Like you have said, color is subjective from one person to another, so I just want to get it close. Still thinking black might even look better. Not too wild about a funny looking gray that seems out of place anyway.
Currently, the only link to the color (chip) I have found is
here look at the bottom of the page. A Jaguar 68-75 color. Do you think that looks close...hard to tell on the laptop monitor?
Here is another, larger sample.
I just looked at the color referenced by links above and they both look tan on a good monitor. Seem to me they are not even close to the grey/purple required.
