Until mid 1949 or so, the color was IH 50, which crosses to DuPont 7410/PPG 70019. What you have is IH 2150 which crosses to DuPont 96766/PPG 71310, there are Sherwin Williams/Martin Senour/NAPA numbers for both. 2150 was not used until 1961. There were actually 3 shades of red before 2150: 50 (1936-1949), 1102b (1949-1958), and 201 (1958-1961). I use 2150, the differences are relatively minor, I have not seen them all. In my opinion the color is up to you, not the correct police, and there is nothing that is really "correct" any more. 7410/70019, 96766/71310 are only someones estimation of the original colors anyway, as tractor manufacturers did not send exact codes/formulas to the aftermarket paint suppliers as auto makers do. I don't particularly like PPG 71310, so I have my dealer change the toners until I get a shade I like. It is all a matter of opinion. And, I don't think Case-IH 2150 is an official color either, because the manufacturers have changed over the years. Enough baloney.
