Colour Chart

[LouiseM]

I got the info from Ray Newell's book so I'm assuming it's correct

Some cars provided to the police were plain white and vans, travellers and 4 doors were in trafalgar blue apparently. Don't recall seeing any police cars in clipper blue.

I'm sure someone more knowledgable will be along soon Andrew

I'm not fussed, really - but thought that the OP might be

[RussLCV]

I can only comment on Police LCVs, these were various Blues and I guess the cars were other than the 'standard' Panda

Hi All,
I'm a new member.
Need some help please. Recently bought a 68 F reg two door saloon.
I asked the chap I had the car off what the colour was, he said it
was "light blue/grey" I can't find this colour mentioned at any of the spares places. On the colour chart the nearest is Smoke Grey, but
my car looks to be a pale blue.
Thanks for any help.
Keith.

Yes it sounds like Smoke grey (which is BMC's name for Pale Blue)!

I believe that there are 2 shades of Smoke Grey though, so be careful. Is also depends on whether your car car been re-sprayed recently, it may have been sprayed in 2 Pack which is slightly different again. The previous owner would know. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help Lou,
Yes it has been resprayed in 2pack. Quite a good job as well.
I now know the colour for touch up paint.
Regards keith.

Hi Everyone,
I would really appreciate your help in figuring out the colour of my brothers car. I have attached a picture. I think it is trafalgar but not sure which shade.

thanks very much,

Definatly Traffy.

Think thats the lighter version. But don't quote me on it - it can be quite hard to tell from a pic as different cameras and light conditions can play havoc

[stevey]

looks like the lighter BU 37 one to me too.

[deano69]

Has anyone heard of Kingfisher blue?I was told my 69 saloon was this colour.

[LouiseM]

There was a Kingfisher Blue used on Rovers - Paint code BU5

[PSL184]

My Trav is Kingfisher Blue.

[deano69]

Oh...its not that colour blue.It looks more like a trafalger blue but my colour perceptions a bit off so....but its definately not kingfisher.

[Precious]

Hi ya. Could anyone tell me what colour this is? It may look white but it's blue. Rather odd really[frame][/frame]

[mike.perry]

That is 1950 - 52 Thames Blue, ICI paint code 2382. No BMC code available.
Another project will be to photograph as many different coloured Series MMs as I can find.

[chris brown]

hello,could some one please tell me what colour my car is,thanks.need to respray the drivers side door after rust removal.[frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

[LouiseM]

What year is your car? It looks like it might be sage green, which was used on saloons between May '56 and March '59. It could however have been resprayed at some point so may not be the original colour. The best way to get a good paint match when just respraying a panel is to take a sample to somewhere that will be able to mix you some paint to match it.

[chris brown]

Hi,the car is a 56 and has been resprayed in the last 10 years by the last owner who said it was sage green.But i have heard that there are 2 sage greens.
