paint colors

I agree with TeriAnn and Rik re period-believable colors.  But what about
the converse?  I recently bought David Hodges' "Essential Triumph TR" 
(not a lot of news, but inexpensive and really good photos).  It has
three color plates of the TR-2 color known as Gernanium.  Wow!  The
name is exactly right: it's orangey-pink.  The only problem is, it
looks like something that could not _possibly_ have been offerened
in 1954.
