Take an unfaded painted metal part off your tractor, and take it to a Sherwin Williams paint store.
They can match the color for you in their industrial enamel.
You can do the same with NAPA, for an automotive enamel match.

I have not confirmed this yet but my dealer says that paint called Volkswagen Red is a perfect match.
