I have noticed when watching some of the home renovation shows either American or Australian the experts (I use that word loosely) are wandering around with the Pantone book trying to assess what colours would be suitable
Please note I do not watch a lot of that
I hope my explanation helps

I was not previously aware of the Pantone System. Thanks for your explanation.
Since it is considered such a high industry standard, wouldn't it be nice if the rattle can paint producers would
include somthing on the rattle can label such as "Matches Pantone 1205C or "Comparable to Pantone 1205C".

Pantone books also give you a mix ratio for all the colors. A guy can get
pretty darn close to anything in the book by following that.
Printers know all about this stuff. Hey Oz were you a printer?
I spent 30 years printing and pantone books are the bible of print colors.

Guilty as charged started as a Letterpress printer and converted over to Lithography in my twenties then bailed out of ink under fingernails and went to the promotion and sales and demographic marketing of the Newspaper industry
As you may have guessed I still have a trusty Pantone book stored in a dark space to limit colour change and fade
As West Valley G says you can get very close to any colour and then fudge a bit to get spot on
You cannot beat a good draw down test with the triangle cutout
Without dragging this thread to far off course what was your background West Valley G ?
That is a great idea Ironman

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
