Their swatch looks nothing like the color - at least on my monitor, but that's the color I bought from Coronado and it's a VERY good match to my original paint R390 (I scotchbrited the FP to expose fresh, unoxidized, clean color to check the match).  If you dig through the MIL specs for the R390 and R390A you can verify that 26307 is correct.  It's several spec layers deep.   See attached photo...

If one takes the time to look about in the various NAVSHIPS Tech Manuals, and the standards for refinishing things, a MilStd, or other standard color/shade of grey will be located, as all radios were to be refinished in the same color/shade, no matter which shipyard did the work.

They run the color range from light gray to gray green or darker. Kind of like SP-600 panels that are silver gray to dark blue/gray.

One other comment....accurate paint matching....there are no standard colors on these things...the gray is all over the board so not sure what you really want it matched to.

If I am mis-speaking I’m sure one of the more knowledgeable will make it right...
