Hi Mike
These are modern colour codes that most closely match original Morris pre war colours:
Morris Light Brown = BLMC Fuscious Brown, Berger ref 3527, ICI 7148, PJP 6170x4530.
Morris Dark brown = BLMC Fawn Brown, Berger 3549, ICI 4860, PJP 6170x4620.
Morris Dark Blue = Chrysler Biarritz Blue, Berger 0636, ICI 2831, PJP 6170x1510.
Morris Green = Fiat Country Green, Berger 4312, ICI 6860, PJP 170z2530.
Morris Red = Austin Damask Red, Berger 1244, ICI 4808, PJP 6170x5110 or Peugot Amaranth Red, Berger 3957, ICI 7806, PJP 6177w5110.
Morris Dash Colour(Dark Purple not Black) = Fiat Amaranth, Berger 3597,ICI 7540, PJP 6170y5490.
Cheers

Interesting that you quote Fiat Amaranth for the dashboard. Back in the 1970s I found that Fiat Amaranth was an exact match for the original dark plum/maroon on my 1936 Austin Ruby. Unfortunately I didn't do a good enough job on the preparation, so had to repaint it after a couple of years, and the new colour turned out to be a mid brick red rather than the previous dark maroon.
So beware: there are, or were, at least two variations of Fiat Amaranth! |
