Jan Servaites (SAOCA Jumping Jan) collected most of the Rootes colors.

The colors were applied to CDs which are offered for sale and can be matched=
 by one=E2=80=99s paint shop.

I got a set when I painted my Tiger 14 years ago (Forest Green/Moonstone/Foa=
m Grey) and haven=E2=80=99t been disappointed.

To my eyes Foam Grey isn=E2=80=99t too terribly different from Moonstone.

Here are a couple of pictures made with a phone camera. It was hard to snap s=
hots that didn=E2=80=99t miss the shade of paint using a phone camera.

I use LAT70 wheels now but back then used wheels I painted myself Foam Grey p=
lus the correct hubcaps and wheel trim.=20

With all the hardware in place there isn=E2=80=99t much left to be seen that=
=E2=80=99s painted.
