Customs Help with a color

I need help with a color. My father had a car painted 56pontiac amethyst.
From what I remember (and the pictures I have) it was a violet color a little more red to the color.
The paint code was D the ditzler ppg number 50441 dupont number 2232H
I have searched the web and seen many different colors come up some more purple than others. I did find one that looked the way I remember. I ordered a bottle of touch paint to see if I can get this color. The color was not close. What I would like if someone can tell me where I can get the formula. So I can get I small amount mixed up. For a test

 

Dupont jobber. Put the Chromavision on it

 

Not going to do him much good for a colour he remembers.
The only place that seems to have decent modern formulas for old colours anymore is TCP Global. I would try contacting them.

Ok. Try them.

 

I have to pick up paint in the morning. I'll ask Duane at Williams paint supply. They've been the Dupont distributor here for 40 years. I'll give him your Dupont number you provided.

 

PPG actually has color samples of some OEM color's in the twin citys. I've had some luck with the jobber contacting them, they do a scan and give them a formula. The last time I had this done was probably ten years ago now, it was hit and miss but worth a try.

 

The problem with old colours is a lot of the toners no longer exist so even with a code if a crossover doesn't exist for a new toner the code is useless. TCP seems to be the only company that has taken the time to develop crossovers or toners to match old paint colours.

Thanks I'll try TCP
If can get a sample, than I can get my local jobber to match it
