What Colour Is That?

[vulgalour]

Any colour where instead of saying "oh, that's [insert colour]." one would say "Well, it's sort of a [insert colour]-ish colour" instead.

 

Brown-ish

 

Yellow/Green-ish

 

Green/Cream-ish

 

Grey/Blue-ish

 

I don't know... Red?

 

Green... or Gold... or Silver...

 

 

I know there's a couple of odd metallic colours that look like they might be green/silver/blue (on a Rover) or pink/gold (on a Sierra) but I can't find useable examples. Oh and no cheating and posting Chameleon/Flip paint either

Sierra brownish

Sierra brownish

 

Looks like that shade of terra cotta that was found on Vauxhall Astras and Cavaliers circa 1982-84.

Vauxhall used to use the exact same henna red colour in their interiors too. Same with their sage green metallic which personally I found OTT.

 

Isn't the Mini that tobacco leaf colour?

My old 200sx. Silver, but with a definite blue tint to it

VW insist this is SILVER

 

Looks beige to me.

Red? Orange? Orangey-red?

 

Yellow? Cream? Beige?

 

Blue? Green?

 

Grey? Lilac?

Looks beige to me.

 

VW/Audi also call a light green metallic 'Inarisilber'... and trashbag-blue as 'Monacoblau'

The Cortina estate's colour is similar to BMW's 'Veronarot' of the 70s.

Polar Silver.

IIRC there was a shade of Austin Gold that was a perfect match for touching up the sills.

I'd call that Mini "mustard".
