Hi, Suzie,
Sorry - I should have assumed that you'd be 'way ahead of me!
From recent experience with paint codes, Halfords has a conversion chart
(Triumph is listed under "Rover Group" I think - or, just possibly, BL),
which should allow you to get pretty close. Alternatively, I could
chip a bit of paint off the wheels of my new 1963 Herald and send it to
you for computer colour matching. Any use?

I spent the first few months of owning Carly doing the same thing, and
I've just started the same approach with X (the as-yet-unnamed Herald).
No articles resulted, though - all my writing is on military history.
