For Atlas machines that were sold as Craftsman, Krylon Regal Blue is a close but not perfect match.
Original Atlas machinery was a a dark gray but I have not heard of an exact match being made yet.
Scott Andrew added:
I recently restored a 1937-1940 Craftsman 6" Jointer. I spent considerable time to match the original color before stripping the machine to bare metal. I used Benjamin Moore latex metal paint in low-luster as the base coat, and high-gloss for the top coat. This jointer was manufactured by Walker-Turner.
