There is a large color variation on the factory colors since all the gelcoat (not paint) was hand mixed. 50 years of exposure has also had an impact.
The most accurate results come from compounding the entire boat, removing the oxidation. That will result in the true color showing.
If the gelcoat is not shiny, it still has oxidation that needs to be removed.
Match the color in natural light.
