Scans of paint chip samples for BMC and British Leyland car colours from 1964 to 1978, with names and paint codes for makes such as MG (MGB etc), Triumph, Austin, Austin-Healey, Morris, Riley, Wolseley, Colt, Cricket.

Due to differences in scanners and the way monitors display colours on your screen, these paint chips should be a rough guide only, as the reproduction will not be accurate without a complex monitor calibration process. If you're looking for a new color for your car, the best way to preview the result is to go to a local car show (check the Event Calendar on this site) and see it for yourself in person!

Note: Some British Leyland (BL) colours are listed under "Triumph" for the 1978 paint chips.

This list is not necessarily complete, there are probably some missing options. If you have some paint chips scans to complete the collection, please get in touch with the webmaster!

Make sure to have a look in the Registry for photos of cars painted in the colors below!
