Its fun to find old data. I have never seen or heard of the Bambara Brown – I wonder what it was used on/contrasted with?
Unfortunately, the data on the back of these is just a bit better than worthless. ACME White Lead and Color Works is long gone. Basic tints varied significantly from manufacturer to manufacturer. So DuPont would have a different formula for the same color because their base tints were different. Without using the actual tints from ACME, it is not possible to match the color. I have tried. What does help is to see what a certain color is made of. This can be a starting point and used to be helpful until the paint manufacturers came out with hand-held optical scanners to match colors. I have found I can polish these chips and get a color scan from this optical scan tool. It is hit or miss. Sometimes it takes many test mixes to nail it. Sometimes it cannot be done since tints needed to make a certain color simply do not exist today. In the case of the Franklin V/12 we did recently, we nailed it perfect on the 1st try. Yet we have found a number of colors that we could never match exactly.
