Take your statue to Home Depot, they can scan current color and match it...
There is no paint color. The Lion shrine isn’t painted. The best I can offer is that it is made from Indiana Limestone.
Oh wait, you’re talking not the statues not the shrine. My bad. Let me get back to you.
@Tom McAndrew The lion color was special made a long time ago by Sherwin William’s and is called “Nittany Lion.” The vendor we uset o do the lion statues for the Elms Collection (Creative Castings) adds specks on top called “leather brown.” You can try to see if a Sherwin William's store can get you the paint. Hope this helps.
This is an interesting thread. I found the following from Creative Castings' website.
This piece is made in two separate parts, both made out of the resin with pecan shell flour. The finish on the nittany lion is done with a base coat of paint with a speckled spray on top. The base was finished with a stain and polished.

Do you happen to know the color code for the official PSU blue? I might pick up some interior paint in that color.
Thanks Phillip. I just looked it up on the Sherwin Williams site. The paint is now called
"Stone Lion". You are a genius. Now I have a winter project.

Sherwin Williams was one of the first companies to drop PSU when the shit-storm started.
Stick it underground for a million years and the shrine will be made of solid marble. That would be a pretty cool artifact to find on a future dig
