Gmt 16750 - How to match hands with dial

Have GMT 16750 1983 manufacture year - great condition but had to replace hands with original rolex hands due to corrosion.

I wanted to match the original dial I have with the same color hands, how do I proceed.

Thanks in advance, sorry if this has been asked before, my first time posting on the vintage side.

You can get hands resumed to match the color and they can be done so they will not glow if your dial is tritium.

Sorry, relumed.

Lots of watches with 'color matched' hands. The texture of tritium is difficult to match. Best to get tritium replacements if you can.

See here for an example of color matched hands:
