This was one of those early colors, along with Geranium and Olive Yellow,
that apparently proved rather unpopular. As I recall, MVC575, the Jabbeke
prototype, was finished in Ice Blue. A picture of a K&R model of that car
is at <http://www.KandR.mcmail.com/TR2RAC.htm>. This might give you some
idea of that color.
I don't know how closely the "hood" color would correspond with the paint
color, but it's probably fairly close. What color was the trim (interior),
as given on the Certificate?
