Well that looks to be the Sun Visor (sideways) so if that's what you're asking about, it's not a standard colour.
Someone has painted it, stained it or whatever.

Sun Visors were the matching colour to the headlining so Light Grey, Pearl Grey, Light Beige.

I believe the headlining colour only varied by production date, nothing to do with the other body paint or Carpet/Trim colours.

It could be "Autumn Leaf. The trouble is the colours do change with age and I am not convinced that the currently available replacements are a good match. Certainly, a blue vinyl replacement seat cover on my car is a terrible match to the rest of the blue interior.

If the car is Teal Blue then the trim colour is Limeflower.

You say it looks “tobacco colour”. That fits with Autumn Leaf.

Trafalgar Blue was, in theory, only ever fitted with Blue / Grey trim. It may have been retrimmed with the interior from another car. Autumn leaf was fitted to Bedouin, Connaught Green and Faun Brown, What year is the car

I would say that the trim colour is Limeflower. If it is a 1971 car (?) then the paint colour is (was) almost certainly Teal Blue. I had a 1971 Traveller myself with that combination.
Autumn Leaf is a BL colour but was not used as a trim colour on Morris Minors.

Fair enough. I was just going by what is available now. Limeflower is a rare one and if the OP doesn't like it then I am sure he could sell it.

I don't think Limeflower particularly suits the Morris Minor but colours are a very personal thing. Having thought about available colours more, I think Autumn Leaf was perhaps used as an interior trim colour on very late Travellers painted in Bedouin - which is a pale beige colour :wink:
Like Limeflower, not a very common colour now.
