LSU Helmet Color

Anyone know the exact yellow color (or closest to) of the footbal helmet?
I know you can get the official colors at Home Depot, but I was looking for it in a spray can.

I call it "canary yellow". But others might argue.

That might be what was considered "old gold"

I was kind of shocked when I read it, but I read that we use the same exact helmet shell/color as the Green Bay Packers.

On our helmets we use a dark purple and a true gold color, on everything else it's more of blue/purple and yellow
This must come to an end.

Old Gold is the color Georgia Tech uses

LSU originally used old gold on it's uniform. However, the problem with the color was that it turned brown when players sweated in them.
So, the LSU coach (I think it was Dietzel) had the color changed to canary yellow.

I need the helemt color in a spray can. If I buy "gold" then it will be like the Georgia Tech one above.
I'm well aware our colors are purple and gold, but that shite we use is not "gold"...its yellow.
I'm just wondering if I wanted to paint a helmet to look somewhat authentic what shade I should use??
This was not meant to be a color circle jerk, I'm just interested in y'alls opinion on painting a helmet.

Wait....that commercial where the people bring in items to be matched up??? Lowes maybe?
I'll just bring in my mini helemt and get it matched up and save that color to my computer for future generations. Problem solved

The helmet makers refer to it as Green Bay Gold.
This is what Jeff Boss also referred to it as.
LSU and the packers have the same color helmets, but GB recently added metallic flakes to theirs a few years ago.
