[Richard Lindsay]

   How about Devon Cream, yet another name for that white that's somewhere
between refrigerator white and Pale Primrose. My E-Type is that ill-defined
white.
   My TR6 is getting painted GM Cobalt Red. Gasp!!! Yes, a modern paint
color that is close to Carmine Red BUT, easily touched up and/or repaired.
