jee dee. look in a olace link under the dash to get the original colour. you can also work it out from the chassis number.

the paint code for limeflower is blvc 20. only used on the traveller 1970 to 71, and later bl cars. i think the third letter in the chassis number will be f a biege. g is a brown car

I think it's probably Limeflower which has gone a bit flat (and covered with dust).
Jeedee - what is the chassis no (from the Morris plate on the firewall).
I bet it will be seven digits starting 1,2xx,xxx.

You can tell the paint colour from the chassis number on the early plates ('52 to '58 - starting F or O ). If you have the later type (starting MA), there is no colour info.
