Adobe Beige is 253-2031
Seminole Brown is 253-2049
A car painted this colour could have Mesa Tan and Black interior or Mesa Tan and Turkish Ivory interior depending on when it was built. Codes would be 262-635 or 262-845.
Most paint shops won't be able to use the codes though because they are for Nitrocellulose lacquer which is no longer made. If you try Eastern Auto Paints they have made new formulas for the old colours in contemporary paint types such as Acrylic lacquer and Two Pack.
