1968-1971 Fenders and chain case paint color name was created by Bigdog302

What is that paint color called on the fenders and chain case called? I might be able to find a pretty accurate paint solution from a online source as I found a great vendor for sunshine Red as used on the 1971 RT1 B pinstripe and alternate color for the 1978 Yamaha DT175E.

I used duplicator de 1615 aluminum on a 72. Looks good to me.

Yeah, that is what I used in the past and it is very close. if I can't find out what the original color name is and get that paint I will likely use the Duplicolor paint again.

Or the...

There must be 50 threads on here talking about the DE-1615 paint being a close match to original silver...   
I've never heard of EDE-1615 but I see some online stores list it that way.  Duplicolor shows the number as DE-1615. 
www.duplicolor.com/product/engine-enamel-with-ceramic/
The only expert I can remember that seems to prefer a different silver is GFrench...  he uses Duplicolor DE-1650.
