Hi, I'm going to be spraying my traveller in a few weeks, but still cans decide on colour 100%.
I was tempted by the cream ( don't know the paint name!) or the (brighter) of the light blue colour.
But I'm after some opinions really- what are the more desirable colours, and the colours what appeal to everyone?
thanks for any help!

Cream = "Old English White". There are colour guides floating around the internet.

Anything but odd custom colours are likely to be desirable although some are more rare than others!

Bermuda blue, but it was originally only used on '71 travellers - and police cars.[frame]Image[/frame]

Light colours are more forgiving if the prep isn't perfect . Dark colours act a bit like a mirror and any ripples show up more

Two other colours that are along the cream spectrum would be Sandy Beige and Bedouin. Both very nice colours and worth a google image search - although I'm not sure Sandy Beige was ever used on the traveller :-?

Thanks for the help, Bermuda blue is really appealing to me! Think I have narrowed it down to this or old English white! The original colour was a real light, dusty blue, and so I have a sort of two tone blue and cream interior.

Trafalgar Blue. I think it makes the Morris look so sophisticated.

If this thread went on long enough, every colour available would be suggested. Don't choose what someone else likes. We're all different! :)

Original is best but as Henry Ford once said " you can have any colour you want as long as it's black" 8)

I've always thought a warmer green on a Traveller looks good if the wood is in clean condition. Not original of course. Should be Almond.

I wouldn't have my own car anything except Almond Green. But that was the colour of my dad's Morris. Maybe if it had been black I would have preferred that.

Anyone else find themselves driving the same model/colour as the family car they knew as a kid?
