Color for TTX car

I'm trying to figure out what yellow color might work for a TTX car, that is a heavy weight flat car.
As it is difficult to get paint from the US I'm trying to use paint which is available.
So what do you think of this:

Seems you will need to try a couple of mixes until you find something that you're satisfied with.

Found an interesting webpage with color samples.

I don't know how accurate these samples are, but according to that list TTX yellow is not far away from UP amour yellow.

My memory is foggy on this, but I seem to remember that there might be two TTX yellows, the original adopted in 1970 and a slightly different yellow starting in the 80s or maybe even 90s.
