Post by Mr Bridger »

Hello! Can anybody tell me the name and colour code of this colour? It's on a totally original MK3 850.

I for some reason thought that colour was called Aconite. From searching around sites it's described as "easily confused with black tulip". :? Maybe Aconite wasn't used on mini's?

aconite was used, but with navy or sorrel trim

black tulip was used geranium or ochre trim - so must be the one in the photo the op showed?
