What color does it say it is? Wheels were usually the stripe color, but I don't see a stripe.

Have you compared it to the paint chips in the latest "Paint and Finish Guide"?

Regardless, it sure looks nice and at this point I wouldn't change it.
I would add the pinstripe and paint the top moldings.
Also, the riveted area of the rear bumpers should be black up to a point midway between the two curves.
Also, the bumper end bolts are painted black.

It is close to a "Dawn Gray" Light..

I should have stated something like; "if wheels were not black then...". But your right, that is not what I wrote.

Thanks for the information. Where can I find the literature that contains the diagram? Model A judging guidelines?

I'd bet it's dawn gray or dawn gray light. My '29 roadster is dawn gray, which is not exactly correct for a '29, but I liked it and it's my car! I'd guess that the the darker color on the reveals might be Kewanee Green.

Dog here,
Well, at least Ol' Bill don't have to wurry I tole him his Coupe' is "VERMIN BLUE"---With BLACK fenders, for sure.
We know Vermin is jist a common old everyday 5 Window Coupe', but we LOVE him & his ZIP-A-RAK, telescoping luggage rack, is a sight to behold. Chuck's gonna' give us an old cracked short block, to haul on it, so THERE!
