Atlas paint color

I am restoring an Atlas 6001 jointer, approximately from 1960 or so. It is grey-ish. I brought a clean piece to my local Sherwin Williams, and here's the forumla they came up with:

Base: Industrial Enamel Ultra Deep Base 1 Gallon B54T104

BACBlend-a-ColorOZ3264128
W1White420--
B1Black218--
G2New Green-81-
N1Raw Umber25-1
Y3Deep Gold-1111

Looks like a pretty good match. I have not used it yet, but on the sample piece I brought in, they painted a small part and I had a hard time trying to find where the new paint was.

Contributor Don Hayes reports an early 1950s new-old-stock Atlas shaper that had some pristine paint that was color-matched. The result was close but not exact. For one quart of Sherwin-Williams All Surface Enamel Oil Base Gloss paint, the numbers are
