I have a 1959 boat trailer for a 14' boat. What colors would this year trailer have probably been painted?

I just finished restoring the 1958 Evinrude 7.5 horsepower outboard to its original colors but was wanting suggestions of a possibly correct paint color for the trailer. Any ideas would be appreciated

I sometimes still see this older stuff. But they've been repainted. And judging by whats under the new paint. off white or light shade of yellow.

A goldenrod yellow is common on older "Tee Nee" brand trailers from about that vintage

I noticed on sandinng the trailer that it had a layer of very light green and also a layer of red. On the wheels I found a light yellow color.

I was just hoping someone had a specific color that was still producable that was on the 1959 era trailer. I wonder if Tee Nee still has the color formula?

The old tilt trailer for the fishing boat I grew up with was a factory green (darker green, but not a Hunter Green) I know it was built in the 50's.
