[TR] TR2 pearl white

[W Beecher]

I don’t know but I would doubt TR was using any metallics or pearlescent paints back then.  It may turn out to be their version of Old English White.

  Thanks Bill,   This chart looks like good information.    While trying to match Primrose/Pale Yellow on my '59 TR3, the numbers didn't translate to available modern paint.  I settled on using the later '68 Jasmine to get a code.  A computer read on the Primrose listed a VW Beetle convertible color named, if I remember correctly, Mello Yellow, which looks right on, when I see one of these cars on the road.   I'm just wondering if there was really any pearlescent in the original white.     Is it obvious and or look very pearlescent?     Dave H.

   Hello TR listers, 
I have a TR2 long door that was originally pearl white with blue interior.   I haven't found any pearl or hint of any metallic in any of the remaining original paint.  Does anyone have knowledge of this particular Triumph color that they can share? 
Was it just a bright white?  It sure looks bright, but no evidence of any pearl.
