what colour is this 604?

[dieselnutjob]

I was just googling for 604 pics and found these.  I think that this colour looks gorgeous in these two pics.  Anyone know what colour this is?

I found this too but the colours seem too distorted

[Wilko220]

I'd say "vert torrent met".

[forddeliveryboy]

^^Agree. I'd love a 604, just for the headlamps and wipers.

[Lord Sterling]

Bluey-Green or Bleu-Vert.

This is Storm Grey, is it the same?

The names of the colours are far less exotic sounding if you translate them into English

[Uncle Jimmy]

'Vert de barge Francais', ie the colour of winners.

[Six-cylinder]

Gris Orage - Storm Gray

That page is fantastic.

 

One thing thing that the photo below is that it confirms that (at least early cars) were all painted brown and then base coat and lacquer applied later but not under the bonnet, so any car other than brown actually looks like a cheap respray.  To restore one you have to paint if brown first and then the top colour and try to reproduce the factory overspray under the bonnet.

 

I'm not sure about Peugeot National.  I'm starting to get grief over the number of days I spend on these things.

 

Edit: forgot the photo:

I did think that page would be a good reference for improving yours when I saw it.

 

He's sold some great stuff, like the 504 Coupes and the Opel Kapitan.  The Dutch seem to have a thriving classic car market and an endless supply of immaculate autoshite!

One green I've always liked is Vert Chevreuse on the GSA.  Look nice on my 405.

It looks the same colour as this one and according to the colour code it's Vert Torrent Met.

[eddyramrod]

Would not, except really really cheap, in V6 auto flavour.  OTOH, 604? Would!
