It looks like stucco.  The kind of orangey stucco
houses in Arizona are finished in.  It does not
look coppery at all.  It's a very bright color,
not like brown eggshell at all.  It's unusual, but
not unattractive.  And it is very difficult to
reproduce accurately in a photograph (heck, even
my glacier blue car is hard to reproduce).  If
I had a car that was originally alamo beige, I
would definitely repaint it that color.  It's
extremely rare and would be the focus of attention
at any get-together of MGA owners.
