Having watched, and occasionally contributed to this list for a little over
4 years, I feel justified in suggesting that color is another of hose topics
best not discussed in the officers mess.
While looking through some old material recently I noticed Triumph at one
time offered a door casing (part #552884, among others) in a color called
"Geranium."
Well, for the life of me, I couldn't remember what a geranium looked like.
Never fear, it's December and the Gurney's catalog is next to the commode.
A quick look revels two geraniums. One is a very red shade of purple. The
other (called Johnson's Blue Geranium) is a definite blue with but the
slightest tint of red.
Well, which shade better describes what was used on our cars? Either could
make a striking contrast color. I've heard some of the horror stories
regarding color combinations. I can only visualize geranium and yellow.
