You need Extra Dark Walnut - the Mohawk Ultra Classic, not the Tone Finish if you want any grain to show through - for an authentic finish color. Medium Walnut on the raised panels in front. For the lines above and below the PHILCO decal and in the grille bars, you might be able to find some nail polish in the proper shade of ivory. Careful work with the nail polish will result in a near-factory appearance.
