I am making some repairs on the trim on my house and found the
original paint color codes but do not know the manufacturer and am
seeking your help. The color codes all start with DK and have a 5
digit number followed by a dash an a numner, e.g., DK 15592-1. I
believe that the -1 reflects the gloss level. This color was called
limetone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Colors fade and gloss goes flat, take a sample wood piece to a real
paint store and have them match it, dry out a 6x6 sample so you can
see if they do it right, often they dry out a 1 inch sample that is to
small.

If you could take a sample to Home Depot they have a computer and color eye
that can match it up and they can mix it for you.

Heck, even WalMart has one of those "color computers."

Problem w/ them and particularly old paint is they tend to match the
dirt and oxidation better than the underlying color (BTDT...)
