MG TD TF 1500 - Body Paint Color

I am repainting my 1954 MGTF. I would like to find a modern paint color that is close to the original color of Autumn Red, the darker of the two red colors available for the car. Can anyone help me find such a paint? I have been looking through colors for numerous cars, both European and American, and it is very difficult to figure out how close the colors are in matching the original.

Good day Mr. Kanaster:

Regarding the Autumn Red M.G. paint colour:

I have the following:
ICI : # 2752
Ditzler: # 50930
Rinshed-Mason: # BM 108 R

If that is of any help to you.

Does anyone on this list have Om experience with colour match scanners when purchasing Paint to match the cars original one?

Really funny and confusing. I want to paint my car Autumn Red also, but find variations in the color charts by different manufactures of the paint. Some looks more like Burgundy, while others look more Red. When it's time, I'm going to have a computer match done and if I like the shade, we'll take it from there. PJ
