I was  reading a Moss Motors catalogue the other night and it had a list of   
paint colors and codes for all years of the TR6.  I noticed that it  did not  
mention Tahiti Blue, which I was led to believe is a  '76-only color.  I did  
have a brief correspondence with another  lister who had a '76 in the same  
color.

Does anyone on the list  have any further information about this  color?   






according to Piggotts book, Tahiti Blue is one of a few colors only in use  
toward the end of TR6 production in July 1976 and was also used on MGs at the  
time. Trim was black or beige.
 
I have a 1978 TR8 pre-production coupe, mfg. August 1977, which is still  
wearing original Tahiti Blue paint and tan interior. 
I like the color and I plan to keep it when/if I ever repaint the  car. I 
don't think I've ever seen a Tahiti Blue TR6 and until you mentioned  it and I 
looked it up, I don't think I ever knew it was used on TR6s at all -  couldn't 
have been very many.
