Now what you need Henry are the Cellulose Acetate colors (1958-63):  red (looks
red-orange), yellow (a Chiffon yellow), blue (a brighter blue).  The CA colors
for white, black and gray are so close to the ABS versions, they would be hard
to tell apart (except they are shinier).  Another CA color you might consider is
trans-clear.  CA trans-clear bricks (over the years) have developed a
"champagne" color to them (a sort of yellowing).  I would suggest that you find
near mint to mint examples of CA red, yellow, blue and trans-clear bricks that
are not warped.
