I think your color will be off, if you paint the roof blue, as the Bertoia catalog calls it a gray colored roof.  I know that gray will be a difficult color to match, as there are many variations of gray colors.

I recall the color looking more yellow/tan in person, when I viewed it at the auction and I would suspect the roof is a darker gray color.

The roof is the same color as the regular Ives 121. It does look gray, with a blue tint. This Ink Blue is very gray. If it doesnโ€™t match, Iโ€™ll keep trying.

Iโ€™ll keep your observation of the yellow in mind as I try to match to body. Lighting in these different photographs tends to change the color.
