a 400 dash is read and the 450 was a gray or a flat black but as to the correct color i am not a 100% on it we always made them a flat black .

The 400 and 450 dash color is suppose to be a sort of gun metal grey color.

I disagree on the 400 as i remember them New and they were red the gray or dark dash did not come out till the 450. Yes i am that old .

These are supposed to be close.
New holland chassis grey # 94-01.
Sherwin williams JX8399.
Dupont spectra master DS178.
Some gun metal greys are close.

Lots of controversy on what the original colors were. I wonder sometimes if the dash panels were already painted the blue gray or whatever you call it and some got painted red with the tractors and some didn't.
Posting some pictures of one repainted but the top side original color. Faded original that you can see a little paint left around the gauge holes. Picture of back side with paint color toward the outside edges, lots of those when removed will show red paint overspray on some places.
