MG TD TF 1500 - Paint code

I intend to paint my 1950 TD in Old English White which has a ICI Dulux code 2379 or a BMC Code BLW73.
Would anyone be aware of the formula for this?
Thanks
John

John, anything here that would work? Regards, Tom

I painted mine "Old English White" and it turned out to be the same color as a ford truck color. Picture attached. Let me know if you want the code.

John, I used Ditzler 81271 on my 53 TD.

Bill that's a beautiful shade of Ivory & it looks very original. I love it. It's the same colour as my car.
Cheers

Do we have a race challenge now between Peter and Bill for who finishes their ivory TD first?

Sorry for the confusion Christopher, my picture was taken in 2009 so I won.

After speaking to Peter the other night I took my enquiry re Old English White to an auto paint supplier and gave him a Dupont number 97111. He looked this up and made up a sample pot and it is exactly what I wanted. My fall back was for the same paint which Peter purchased some time ago which was Ivory Cream 47536, formula I.D PF322.
Dupont 97111 was used in the 1960 Rover.
The new VW Beetle currently on sale has a similiar colour to Old English White.
Thank you all for your help.

Late model Fords have a color called Wimbledon White which is a perfect match to our MG Ivory color.
