Thanks!  I think part of the problem has been that the people working  
in a few stores haven't known they should handle Munsell. We'll keep  
trying, but thanks for the info.

There's a pretty cool story behind this particular color. It was  
nearly lost after more than 100 years of painting and repainting this  
ceiling with all sorts of different colors. Some chemist who  
specializes in doing this sort of thing did an analysis on the  
various layers, found the original, and then was able to adjust that  
color to take into consideration age and the various forces that  
change color over time in particular paints with particular  
combinations of materials. Having made the adjustment, he came up  
with the Munsell number.
