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. <div><br></div><div>Bill<br><br><br><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/aol-news-email-weather-video/id646100661">Sent from Yahoo for iPhone</a><br><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Thursday, January 7, 2021, 9:53 PM, Dave <dlhogye@comcast.net> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv9533761756"><div>

<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt;">This chart looks like good information. </span>

<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt;">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.</span>

<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt;">I'm just wondering if there was really any pearlescent in the original white. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;color:#333333;">
<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt;">Is it obvious and or look very pearlescent? </span>

Try this site, gives a couple of paint codes for Pearl White, depending on the year.

Hello TR listers,
<br clear="none">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?
<br clear="none">Was it just a bright white? It sure looks bright, but no evidence of any pearl.
