Default 82 Paint Color Question

I have an 82 Collector Edition. While it's fairly easy to get touch-up paint for the silver beige metallic exterior paint, it's much more difficult to figure out the paint color code for the brown (e.g. around the tail lights). I even had the local paint shop mix me up a small batch, but it didn't work - it was brown, but too much red. Has anybody every figured it out? Brown paint code anybody???? Thanks.
