This one has clearly seen better days, but check out the trim tag - looks to have been ordered with special paint. Can anyone decode the original color based on the tag? I'm guessing Tiger Gold from the mostly baked paint, but I assume these could have been painted nearly any available color.

Well, now that I see 217-33 trim was blue, I'm guessing it was never Tiger Gold....

No (not even PHS).

It will tell you it was special paint but there is no way to know which special color it was.
