How can I see a colour chart which shows a good example to see the difference in the colours of Cream (YL5) and Pale Ivory (YL1)? Is there any way I can get hold of a chart showing both these colours ? The one way I have thought of is to buy an aerosol of each and spray a sample of each onto a piece of metal and then make a choice>Any other ideas please? I have looked at a colour chart at my paint factors but neither of these colours are available to see.

I can only suggest that you keep an eye on e-bay for colour charts to see whether you can find one with the colours on that you need.

There's a photo of a pale ivory car in this thread if that helps: http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f= ... pale+ivory

Minors look best in the original factory colours Old English White is the one for you.......

Cream & pale ivory are original factory colours ('56 - '59).

Surely they will be on the colour charts then?? Can't say I have seen them.....although there are two shades of OEW. AAh - I see the colour chart has disappeared - perhaps the thread could be modified to make that clear. ie NO colour chart.....

Pale Ivory shown on the second chart down here.....looks beige to me........ almost as beige as my Aran Beige TR7!! Does anyone HAVE a 'cream' or 'pale ivory' Minor?? Rare as hen's teeth I suspect

The previous colour chart was only a partial one anyway and didn't show all Minor colours, but I'll add a link to the charts from the MG site as they might be useful.

Here you go - few cans of this and job done ! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400ml-CarPlan ... 1c1c95ee0d

Thanks for all the comments. Before I chose these two choices I did check that Minor's were produced in these colours and they were.I am also going to include Old English White,so now I have to choose one of three.!

Does anyone have original Sales literature showing these colours ??
