Hi
On a 1972 MGB where or how does one determine the color codes of the exterior and interior.
The outside looks like Teal Blue and the interior is a tan or brown.
Just wondering if there is a code on the car or something?
Thanks
 
I have a 72. There are no codes for the paint or interior anywhere on the car. You can choose a color for that particular year by looking at charts like one from this link; https://www.teglerizer.com/mgcolors/
MG photo based color code guide. (Has Photos)

Or this one; https://www.mgcars.org.uk/namgbr/paint.htm
MGB Paint Codes
I restored my interior in biscuit rather than autumn leaf as original. The paint is a 72 color Flame Red. Sorry about the fuzzy foto.

I take it the reddish brown is the Autumn leaf?
I like the biscuit. I want something besides black.
Thanks
 
I think you can still order a heritage certificate for around $50 or so that tells what color combo your car came originally (as well as some other info, and looking cool).
