[TR] Honey Tan?

[75TR6 at TR6.Danielsonfamily.org]

I've checked Rimmer & Prestige and neither shows that color, so I guess it's unique to Moss. I wonder if there was a time when they couldn't get Light Tan so they substituted Honey Tan and just kept it as an option. The two colors are close with Honey Tan having more "gold" in it. A few years ago, I had a discussion with them about their vinyl and I was told that all the colors are proprietary to them. At least they took my advice about making their vinyl available to buy "by the yard".

Thanks for your input

In the research I did a while back for my Paint/trim code chart, I never ran across that particular color (colour).

Don’t know who dreamed up that colour variant. Seems as much a myth as the statement I saw some years ago in a high profile magazine that the factory floors in Coventry were all hard packed earth and no concrete anywhere.
Anyway, according to my cherished Production Control Code Books, Honey Tan never existed, nor was it ever offered as available to special order.
 If Moss publications in the States are as inaccurate as the ones they used to offer in the UK, nothing would surprise me that they’re now inventing colours.

Does anyone have any insight as to how Honey Tan became an interior color for the TR6? In my research it was never offered at a factory color yet Moss lists it as a color.

The trim codes in the brown/tan family that I can find are: chestnut, tan, light tan, new tan & biscuit.

Thanks
