In looking for a color for the '71 Stag I am thinking along the lines of
a pale yellow that was used on TR250s. Perhaps close to the yellow on
the GT6 pictured on the model range page.
I noted something interesting on the Stag parts book color charts, the
color yellow family is class 4 and they list Saffron, Mimosa, and Jasmine
as being correct shades of yellow for the Stag. I had a Mimosa TR6 and
the original color of my Stag was Mimosa but I want a lighter yellow.
The color chart on the VTR page makes Saffron look almost reddish.
Anyone have any insight into what the pale yellow on the TR250s was?
TIA

Jasmine called Primrose on TR3s is a very light yellow tone. It is used
on TR250s and early TR6, replaced by mimosa in 73. It looks pale
because to the yellow color lot of white and some black is added.
My TR6 on carpictures is jasmine.
