I remember the Ice Blue (secret? :-) ). But I wasn't aware of the Pale
Yellow peril. Pale and Primrose were originally two different names for
the same color, circa 1958-60. Could it be that someone, somewhere, is
also confusing Jonquil and/or Jasmine yellows with Pale/Primrose? And I'm
a bit puzzled about the 1966 reference above. Triumph, at least for North
America, didn't offer any yellow in 1966, did they?
I am curious (yellow) about this, as I might be getting "Joseph the
Amazing Multicolored Herald" painted this year in correct, original PALE
YELLOW (and Sebring White; let's hope that there aren't too many versions
of THAT color lurking about in catalogs).
