Color Chart

I was talking to a friend today and the question of what colors were offered on Tigers? Yes we know that that a tag in the engine compartment has a number and that number can be translated using the BON and other sources. The questions that I have does (can) someone share with me and others on this site a "Color Chart" which would match the Tiger color number and a "sample" color of what it would look like?

I realize that a chart may not have the exact color but it might be close.

Much appreciated, Doug

Colour Codes

Doug,
Here are the colour codes for Tigers. Some of these were also used on Alpines, but I don't know if there were any Alpine colours not used on Tigers. Sorry, but cannot help with colour chips or examples of the different colours.

1 Embassy Black 92 Arctic White
19 Moonstone 100 Mediterranean Blue
39 Carnival Red 102 Oxford Blue
53 Wedgewood Blue 106 Commodore Blue
58 Midnight Blue 107 Holly Green
61 Quartz Blue Metallic 108 Polar White
67 Light Green Metallic 109 Orchid Green
68 Autumn Gold Metallic 122 Signal Red
76 Balmoral Grey 127 Turquoise Blue Metallic
86 Forest Green 130 Gunmetal Metallic

Rootes Paint/Color Samples

Jan Servaites sells Rootes color samples applied to a CD, (compact disc). I picked up several samples from Jan, before picking a color for 000004.

Collecting Rootes Color Charts

All,

I have been collecting color chips for a while and will find them and attach when I get a chance. Note: The pamphlets are as old as the cars and they will be scanned.

Commodore Blue 106

Can anyone tell me the current accurate crossover paint code for Commodore Blue 106 to a current PPG, DuPont or other brand?
