MG TC colour shade/s

I'm about to source and order my paint. I dont have any original colour to check against so wanted to see what green colours people have used ... I'm after a dark green and have tested RAL6005 BRG and RAL6009 Fir Green. The former appears too light and the latter too much like Army/Jeep green ... has anyone got the code and a decent photo to share on the colours you have used please? Chris

Hi Chris. I once had an early Range Rover painted in a rather fetching 'Lincoln' green. I loved it. (the colour; not so much the car!) I would think it could make a TC stand out in a crowd.

Another option which I would consider quite bold would be an early version of British racing green. The beauty of this shade is that it is almost black but not quite. A really enigmatic colour that no one else would dare to embrace for their TC.

I am afraid that I have played safe with Reno red. It recalls my first encounter with a TC and is something I had always wanted to do. I now sometimes doubt my first choice.

How about this BRG.....

...or this one....

.... the exact shade is a pretty movable feast I find!

(and depends on the ambient light and your monitor too)

This is what I was thinking. VERY dark BRG.

thanks for the pictures guys, this is the type of colour green I'm after as can be seen on my TC 20+ years ago.
I dont have any reference to that colour, hence my request to determine the RAL nnnn number. The darker BRG is my desire but not RAL6009 and RAL6005 appears to be too light on my tests!

The shade that Bentley used (that I love) was called "Brunswick" Green..

Learn how we have the Irish to thank for BRG. >>>>>>Have a giggle!

Or what could be more British than 'Brands Hatch Green'......

.....the colour of my ..errr... C3 'Vette?

One year only - 1971 - not sure why Chevy thought this evocative of a British race circuit, but it is an impressive green.
