Incidentally, this is a British colour and came to us courtesy of all the Centurions, Humbers, Ferrets, Saracens, Champs and Land Rovers we imported from the 50's.
Hi Tony

DBG was in use pre WW2 . It is on the 1931 BSC colour chart . The chart was amended a few times post WW2 , but DBG was there from the early 30's . I have a had a few British WW2 radios with the cases finished in DBG . Most people think its a 1950's post war colour , but it isn't .

Wattyl outlets will mix it up for you , I had a tin done and they gave me this document . Apparently its available in many forms of their paint range .
