If you look under the "bodywork" section there's a colour chart posted there with all the colours together with the ICI paint codes needed to match the paint.

Also take a look in the Branches section under Potteries. Under identification it lists all the colours available for the year of your vehicle.

Hope this helps you :D

The most common pale blue for travellers was smoke grey[frame]Image[/frame]

Another not so common one is clipper blue[frame]Image[/frame]


I'm afraid I haven't got a photo of a bermuda blue one though, someone will have, and I've never heard of Honolulu blue!

bermuda blue is this one:

and i'm now more confused than ever!

there was a light blue morris traveller in Charles Ware's (wash my mouth out) brochure literature years ago. mine was bedouin grey but i WANTED that light blue one!! now i have the time and funds to look i want to get it right. my first instinct was bermuda blue, but it may have been smoke grey. it seems that whilst honolulu blue was a bmc colour, perhaps it never made it onto a minor....

edit: in fact that traveller and your emily are likely the correct colour, smoke grey! i think we have a winner!!

Smoke grey is most likely, it is by far the most common, bermuda blue was only for very late travellers (70-71)(and it was the colour used on police cars) and honolulu blue was never used on minors.
Just to confuse things even more Emily isn't actually smoke grey, she's painted in a VW colour!! :roll:
