I admit it. I have no taste. I don't know the names of colors, let alone what they look like. The only reason I know "chartreuse" is a color is because it described a microbus in a C&W song about a

I solved that problem a different way ... don't wear ties ! I couldn't get your Google link to work, but when I chopped out what appeared to be the photo URL, it was a very pretty powder blue TR3A.

I must jump in on this one: I would vote for "Powder Blue" for sure. Nice color, no two cars alike since it is so hard to match! No clue what it really looked like originally. My TR3B is a version o

The sweetest classic combination is black over red, a bit retro but still so cool that BMW used it on their high-dollar retro Z8 a couple years ago and I've seen it recently on the not-cheap Audi A4

I didn't read this thread from the start so I don't know if this was covered. For color, do you want the car to stand out from normal cars on the road or other similar cars at a show? Many Porsches a

FWIW, here is my recent experience with choosing and trying to buy a good period looking color for my TR3A: I wanted a nice dark blue. I choose not to go too dark due to a very lumpy body and my amat

I would love to get my hands on a TR2 so I could paint it one of the factory colors like Geranium or Olive Yellow. And then there was the upholstery in Blackberry... Wow! -- Phil Barnes (peb3@cornell

Just out of curiosity, TeriAnn, did it also have a black stripe ? I'm sure my late TR3A affected some people that way, but so far no one's ever said so to me ... I got lots more compliments after pa

== I'm with you, Phil. There was an Olive Yellow TR2 featured in Triumph World magazine awhile back. "Vivid" to say the least, but pretty neat. And I've seen several Geranium TR2s. We had a member of

It was probably mine - a metallic black, appears blue in some lighting. I didn't want just another black or red or white TR but I did want it reminiscient of original, if that makes any sense. I also

Golly it's been about 12 maybe 13 years since I saw the car & backed out of the colour I was going to choose. Memory wants to say it was a metallic golden orange and I think the colour may have been

If that's what pleases you, then go for it ! As I've always said, it's your car, it should please you. BTW, metalflake is also "period correct" for the late 50's, at least as a custom paint. And muc
