Jim,

Exact colors will depend on your era. Try the Niles Depot Historical Foundation in Fremont. They've done research on SP depot colors. Web page with color info including Munsell numbers: http://www.nilesdepot.org/centerville/colors.html

Let us know what paints you come up with and I'll add them to the list.

The Niles Depot chips were done for the nearby Centerville Depot.... and are based on forensic paint research, not on SP drift panels (but they are well researched.)

CSRM's library has some SP drift panels, but I don't know if those include depot paint. Other SP drift panels are in private collections, and occasionally surface...
