A slightly rare colour, help needed

Post by Sidney'61 »

Hi, Sidney my '61 moggy is supposed 2 be in 'Yukon grey' according to the heritage certificate but he's a bit patchy and faded so I'm not sure which shade of grey he really should be.
I believe there's about 8 different shades of grey in the minor range so if anybody would be able to find me a photo of a moggy in the slightly rare yukon grey it would be greatly appreciated.
(I think that colour just ran from 1960 to 62 if that helps)

Thanks

If it helps I might add that on my PC (at least) the lower picture gives a more accurate representation of the colour. the upper shot looks more like clarendon grey which is very similar but slightly darker and with a hint of blue. Yukon is mid grey with no blue cast.[/code]
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

Yup that colour seems to match most of the panels on my moggy, thanks for the help guys.
