You have a very handsome 390.  I have worked on dozens and dozens of 
them, and can say unequivocally that the color is WELL within the wide 
variation of original colors.  Regardless of what a spec sheet says, or 
a can of paint on Collins' shelf looked like, they were just NOT all one 
color -- and the variation is quite substantial.

Time to relax and use it in the intended manner.

Best regards,

Charles
