Inliners International Forums General Discussion Body & Paint 1940 Paint Code

Hello all....I have a 40 Chevy 4 door Special Deluxe and Im wondering what the original color was. The code on the tag on the passenger side of the firewall is hard to read, but I think it says "221" for the paint code, or maybe "281"...Its weird, its like worn way down but the rest of the tag is perfect. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
