Default Harley paint colors

Hey Everyone! I'm new to this whole motorcycle thing...but I'm planning on buying a Harley this spring and have been researching colors that Harley has previously used. Theres a color called "turquise delft blue" that could be the color I am searching for, but it was from the early 1900's so every picture is in black and white. Does anyone know if you can buy the paints that Harley has used over the years? I would love to use actual Harley colors if possible, so if you have info on where I could see them or buy them that would be awesome. Thanks!

Try Miller's Custom in Daytona Beach. Paints, manuals,emblems,parts for most vintage Harleys. If they ain't got it--they never made it. Or, pretty close!

I've had trouble getting paint to match from black and white photos too. Sheesh.
