Bill & John:
I guess that the colour is in the eye of the beholder!!!
My '60 TR3A (TS63307 LO) was originally yellow and a good buddies '61
TR3A (TS81541 L) was originally, and still is, yellow. To our Canadian
eyes, the yellow shade does not have any greenish tint. I still feel
that it is somewhat similar to the MG colour Pale Primrose.
My set of original paint chips does show a faint greenish tint to the
yellow, but the paint chip doesn't match what we have on our cars too
well - particularly on the parts not exposed to sunlight.
