Default need help with older paint color

I am making some repairs on the trim on my house and found the
original paint color codes but do not know the manufacturer and am
seeking your help. *The color codes all start with DK and have a 5
digit number followed by a dash an a numner, e.g., DK 15592-1. *I
believe that the -1 reflects the gloss level. *This color was called
limetone. *Any help would be greatly appreciated. *Thanks.

Colors fade and gloss goes flat, take a sample wood piece to a real
paint store and have them match it, dry out a 6x6 sample so you can
see if they do it right, often they dry out a 1 inch sample that is to
small.
