Yellow and brown. I keep trying and I always over pigment the brown. It is very little. I don't have a recipe, but that's a start.

Thx Fish,
No one on this site has done this type of color match synopsis ? Wow - you guys have over-engineered, invented, re-invented EVERY aspect of our beloved SC - but not how to match the gelcoat ?! I'm surprised at this gaping hole in our community !

If I had to guess, in a pint of mar-pro white (not neutral), I'd say 3 drops of brown and a few of yellow. I tried just brown and messed it up. Getting drops out of tube of pigment is tough, it can come out fast.

One more thing. Different years are different tints, I think. My 71 Seafari 25 is darker than my 75 MA 20. Or that's my impression.

Correct. Different colors for different years and even if the colors were originally identical, a 5 year old boat would not be the same color as a 20 year old boat.
Start with a tiny bit of yellow until your close but lighter, then add tiny amounts of brown until you get it. It will cure slightly lighter. Make small batches ' cause you're gonna throw some away!

Suggestion - use WAY LESS pigment than you believe appropriate- just a tiny drop.
Then mix very thoroughly and first compare to the untinted gel coat in the can. You'll be surprised that it will show the impact of such a small tint. Then put a little dab on the boat - see how it matches up. Add a very tiny bit more tint if needed. Over adding color is WAY easier than you'd think.
