I have a 1946 WL that I restored back in 97. I got a paint sample from Antique Motorcycle Supply to have matched with the color that I wanted. From what I have read about for the 46 year there were only about six colors, Gray & Red for the first part of the year and then for the second part of the year Skyway Blue, Flight Red and Police Silver. Also by years end possibly Black was used. I did mine in Skyway Blue and it turned out great.
