I looking for opinions on what currently available wraps best match 1960’s vintage Pearl drum company colors...?

The way I see it is:

New “Vintage” white pearl is close to White pearl...

New “Vintage” black pearl ( large chip ) is close to Black pearl...

New Red glass glitter is close to Sparkling red pearl but lacks the random gold flakes...

New Blue glass glitter is a little darker and bluer than Sparkling blue pearl...

Silver glass glitter is very close to Sparkling silver pearl...

New Gold glass glitter ( actually the kind with a orange shade ) is close to Sparkling gold pearl...

Vintage Sky blue seems to be about the right shade but the pattern doesn’t quite match Light pearl blue...

A lot of these actual colors I just haven’t seen in person, so if any body has any thoughts please speak up!

Attached is from a 1968 Preal catalog.

Thanks,

-Mr. B.
