Colour of my Traveller

I have been told by the previous owner of my traveller that the ' White ' is Snowberry White - but I am not convinced.
I have had some coach enamel mixed by a company I have used for many years and providing the info. supplied is spot on, so too have been their mixes. I have painted the plywood 'screen' that shields the spare wheel area and when I took it outside to drop it back in, I was amazed at the difference in shade. It's got a '' greenish' tinge '' to it and doesn't look even close to the body colour.
Is there any data available that I can check against the chassis number ( MAW 51234843 ) that would show me the original colour of the car ?

A production trace from BMIHT will give you the definitive answer. "G" reg so around 1968? What colour seats? 1968-71 body Snowberry White with Arizona Beige seats. Glacier white with black seats. 1956 -68 Old English White with brown seats. Very difficult to tell from a web photo, but it looks quite like Snowberry to me.

Those paint / seat colour combinations are for LCV'S - Arizona beige was never a traveller interior colour.

The chassis number dates from late '68 and the only white available for travellers then was snowberry white (black interior). It's possible that yours was re-sprayed a slightly different shade at some point but as Simmitc says, it looks like snowberry from the photo.

Thanks for the replies chaps. The interior is '' black '' which indicates a Snowberry White finish according to your replies so I am now leaning towards the possibility of an incorrect paint mix.
Many thanks.
