Not a great picture, but if I had to guess I'd say #2. #3 is a possible, but looks like Riviera Blue after fading. Here's an old BMC color chip chart showing the color: https://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/aclchip.aspx?image=1965-blmc-pg01.jpg

Note that the appearance of a color on a computer monitor is greatly influenced by the calibration of the monitor and is unlikely to be close to the "real" color you are looking for.
 
great thank you... I found this before but he is having issues with this code :frown:

I just realized I also need to find the paint code for the hardtop. Per the person I bought it from, he said this was an option and when his grandfather purshased it, the got the hardtop aswell.

Any idea how to find the proper color for the original hard top?

I have Production Number/Color Schemes through HAN7/GAN2 on my web site at

Riviera Blue (BU44), which began with HAN8/GAN3, would have had the same color hardtop (BU44).

Opps, it would have had the same color top??? Ohh well, its been painted with a "glacier white" and the car is the riviera blue.

Hey Guys,

haha I was just searching for the color code of my just now bought Sprite and I found this thread.
I hope you guys read my reply even the thread is very old.
I just found out that I just bought 'your' car robdmau and it is going to be shipped to me to Germany :smile:
Is there any more documentation of the car exept the 50 pictures at cardomain?

And do you have bills of the restauration and maybe you can tell me if you got off the complete rust or only the outside one...
And from which guy did you get the car?

I hope to hear from you soon :smile:

Best Regards from Germany,
Nils
