A damson is a small, dark, purple plum and this is a fairly good
description of the colour used by Triumph. Words are never entirely
adequate to describe colours, but I would not describe it as close to
burgundy (I would not dare to describe anything as burgundy anymore - the
French appellation police would get me for applying a French name to a
non-French product). In my view burgundy is a dark red - others may have
different views.
There is a Triumph colour card on the web. Somebody may remember where it is.
