USCG paint color

If you check you will find that color (I don,t remember the name ) in the TESTORS mODELMASTER range of paint .       tankerbuilder .     P.S. I make a mix of wood brown toned with yellow

Thanks guys. It seems that there is several possibilities out there. I will probably try the humbrol paint first. Perhaps when (if) I ever finish this little project I will post some pics. Something I have never done before.

Use Badger Model Flex Marine Colors, 16-405 Deck Tan; it's an almost perfect match for Spar (Buff) FS 10371.  The Model Flex line is airbrush ready, so it may take a few coats with a bristle brush. 

Dumas recently released a 1:16 scale wood model of the 36' MLB; they recommend Polly Scale Railroad Union Pacific Armoiur Yellow as the proper color.  They included stick on mylar decals for the 36500 from Chatham; the 36498 from Port Orford; and the 36473 from Fort Point (Presidio at San Francisco).

The actual name of the color is "spar."  CG Bob needs to weigh in on this. To my knowledge Testors doesn't have anything that's a close match, but White Ensign Models has the exact shade you're looking for, and now that the exchange rate isn't so godawful I'd recommend that route. I just picked up a tin of it myself last week.
