If it's original, and it's sort of a bright yellow on a '77/'76- chances are 
it's Inca. If it's original paint and an older car, and the yellow is softer, 
more pastel-it's Primrose. Then, there's a colour from the '50s from Triumph, 
called Olive Yellow-but don't let the name fool you-it's more green! (Just as 
Geranium isn't red-it's a rose pink!)

Love those Triumph colours!
