Can anyone tell us what the original bottom paint and boot stripe color were for a 1979 CD27?

I don't have my 81 CD manual here, but I remember red was mentioned in addition to dado brown (interlux). We repainted our boot stripe last season. Had bought a pettit red which, turned out to be a barn red. Looked terrible. So terrible (I mean, the boat looked like it might have come from the circus) that the more sensitive people at the boatyard actually gave us brown to put over the red. Two coats of brown did the job and looked infinitely better.
