Paint code formula

[Drdogface]

In a few weeks I'll be taking my 78 SC into the shop for paint. I'm doing a color change to Fly Yellow. Realizing that the guy can't match paint from a photo taken in various light conditions I wanted to find the formula for this color. In doing some research I ran across a post on the Ferrari Talk forum which said that over the years Ferrari used code 102 for Fly Yellow but had at least three different formulas. It gave all three and I printed them out.

I know that in 1993 Porsche would paint an RS America any color the buyer requested and four were painted Fly Yellow.

Can anyone suggest how I find the exact formula for that 'version' of Fly Yellow? I'd hate to pick the wrong one.

This is the dupont code that matched code 102 for 1993...dupont has different formulas for ferrari code 102 depending on the year.

They other codes matched 2001 or 1981-82.. so I'd guess this 1993 formula listed above would be the one porsche used to paint to sample in 1993.
