Mini Colo(u)r Guide

If you haven't seen this site before, the info is pretty interesting. There's a few gaps and some of the links don't work but I can't find anything similar on the Internet.

Very nice. You're right, I couldn't get the links to work, but the thumbnails still give you a pretty good idea. I love some of the two-tone Riley colors.

Really neat find. I don't think the red my car originally was is there, although I really only have a few small spots to compare with. Is there a way to actually determine what your original paint code was?

My classic was in good enough shape that the original paint code sticker was still on the flitch panel. It was only a paper label but it confirmed that the color is "Bracken". Check around the engine room and see if you might have something like that there.

I found the original color when I removed the door cards. Look inside the doors - maybe they didn't respray there.

Until looking at this site, one of my favorite vintage colors was Almond Green, but now I think I may have been confusing it with Cumberland Green.
