Triumph Color codes
            with Photos   The one and only, original Photo color Pages

Many of the photos here have been edited. Most are cropped, a few are gamma corrected ,while others have been brightened or contrast enhanced.       The 'intent' of this page is to show the comparison of the colors named. I can not even hope to accurately represent each as the 'correct' visual representation of the colors, as each computer monitor will look different based on your settings while viewing this page.
Plans were to turn this into a complete Historical photo reference for vehicle color.     In the near future, I am going to convert these pages into a database format that will show multiple examples of each of the colors. This would vastly improve loading time of all the color images available. Take a peek at an original (scanned) Colors and Trim Brochure from 1975 for the Spitfire and TR6   flyer from 1975 (caution- large images)		If you feel you have a great color 'show off ' picture of your cars color, SEND IT TO ME for consideration of use here on this page.   Although Triumph never specifically identified paint codes from manufactures, MG and Jaguar did. You can look at the MG Color Page to find the nearest 'equivalent' that existed in England at that time. Paint Codes Interior Trim codes
You should be able to distinguish between brown and green below, as well as teal and dark gray.  If not, adjust your monitors brightness and contrast to see all 16 of these standard Windows®  palette colors.      With a nominal monitor gamma of 2.2, you should be able to make out the difference between all of the computer generated grayscale blocks below. To make the most of this page, you should be able to see the difference (at least) between X,Y (and Z) and ideally C and B (and A) and a full spectral image just for another monitor reference

colors are listed one above the other in the following order. A '-' means none exists for that mfr. Color name common name late model id code years used	paint mfg'ers *BMC/BL *Ault & Wiborg/       Berger/Gipgloss *ICI *PPG/ Ditzler (US) *Dupont (US) *Glasso/      Rinshed Mason        (US)	prefixes: C=cloth H=leather no prefix mean vinyl available Trim color options	Some of the photos have been color edited to try and bring the color as viewed as close to the true visual color named. They may not be perfect, but remember this is to show the difference in each of the colors in comparison to one another. No computer screen could truly represent so many different cameras eyes.
