Default HD paint charts?

Does anyone know if there is a website showing all of the Harley paint colors? My tank was damaged last week and I want to take this opportunity to try a different combination than the olive/black. Thanks!

I'm sure there is a color chart out there however I haven't found it yet. Every time I have a color question I just go to the dealer and tell em I want the paint for which ever model and which ever year. They have a way to look it up and I haven't been disappointed yet. Now if you want to go aftermarket paint then your on your own. Factory HD paint is pricy but well worth it. Not that other paints aren't worth it but you may have a harder time matching colors.

Color codes for Harley are not published by The Factory, but here's a hint: Talk to an auto-body shop firmiliar with PPG paints. If you're going to a different color, it doesn't matter what the code is. Just get a quality primer, paint and top coat. If you're thinking you'll want to go back to the stocktheme, worry about that when the time comes. You can always get a quart or two from your dealer if authenticity is a concern.
