At Rural King yesterday i saw that they sell a red enamel paint labeled for their red RK tractors. Is that a color match for my Branson or not? Just curious for now. Also what matches the dark gray charcoal on lift arms area?
I know well how to match paints from much previous AB work-just asking what you tried off the shelf here that is close or matching? thanks!

I bought some at tractor supply and it matched up very well. When I get a chance will try to find it and post here.

This is the branson paint code I've had this PDF for a bit now never thought about posting it here for you guys, sorry lol better late than never i suppose.

this will only have the red or dark blue paint code ( the dark blue is used overseas not needed here in the US)

Rustoleum has a Cherry Red that matches pretty well and a Slate that matches the gray pretty well.

I am always fascinated by the idea of being concerned about color matching paint for a tool. Paint is a protective coating. Choose whatever color you want.

Well, just because it's a tool, doesn't necessarily have to look like crap with 50 shades of red all over it.

Meh, I see a red tractor and I want to paint it black.

Besides, if you picked the most convenient shade of red, you would only have 2-tones. Two-tone used to be a thing. 😁.

Somebody's either color blind or got a burr in their saddle?
FWIW, many males lack good definition of reds/greens. I used to do color definition testing for employment and tech education purposes and though I'm not an eye doc for sure, I did learn that people do have variable abilities to see colors and shades of colors. I'd always thought either you were or you weren't.

Not color blind, but my wife is what I call hue blind. She is not allowed to match paint in our house.

Probably just a burr. I get worrying about color on a classic or collector tractor. For my uses, of I needed to repaint my tractor, I would literally paint it black, or maybe a deep forest green. Even for touch up, I would get the most convenient, available color and not worry about it.

I think all tractors should be white. Would be much cooler.
