Re: Trim recolouring
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.

Re: Trim recolouring
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.

Re: Trim recolouring
If the car is Teal Blue then the trim colour is Limeflower.

You say it looks “tobacco colour”. That fits with Autumn Leaf.Classiccars wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 7:06 pm Had a look and it's Trafalgar blue.Any advice on interior for that please.

Re: Trim recolouring
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

Re: Trim recolouring
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.

Re: Trim recolouring
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.

Re: Trim recolouring
Looking at the door handle pull it looks similar so limeflower it could well be..

Re: Trim recolouring
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
Like Limeflower, not a very common colour now.
