I apologize for missing this post until now.

It depends on which version of the 118X you have.

The early one:

Medium Walnut overall, with Perfect Brown on the horizontal accent stripe near the center of the cabinet and Extra Dark Walnut on the two sections of the fluting above the dial, as shown.

The later, and more common one:
http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1935b.htm#f

It uses Medium Walnut on the control panel, sides and top; Extra Dark Walnut on the trim, as shown.
