[Mgs] Alamo Beige MGA

[Max Heim]

The chip is shown on Auto Color Library here:

Rather "pinky", is my impression. But I think it would actually be an
unusual, interesting and very period color.

GT4's photos make it look dark and coppery, but I wouldn't think that is how
it would come out, based on the chip.
