And that was never used on the series II, Maroon was used on about 400 series MM cars, and maroon B was used on the series V

tanx kevin, but the problem is both maroon and lilac have the same ICI ref: ICI REf 3467, this must be a mistake then.

I found this link in Norwegian saying that Maroon A or Maroon has ICI ref:2473

Would anyone confirm this please?

No luck with this colour! I bought two samples of maroon A (RD 08- ICI 2473) and Maroon B (RD 23- ICI 6573) and they look almost the same! both very dark maroon.

Anyone has an idea what is the reference for the colour in the pic then?
