Need a paint code - Salvador Blue

[wifegonnakillme]

Well I've (finally) decided on a color for my TR3...Salvador Blue. I found an example on the TRregistry where the owner refers to it as "Cotswald Blue" - yes I know this was not a standard color for '59, but at least it was a TR color for a while...

Anyway, by bodyshop guy is looking for a Dupont paint code for it and I am at a loss - any ideas? Attached is the color I'm going for,

Thanks,

No salvador blue code - but check this link out to the Dupont Historical Library:
https://pc.dupont.com/hcl

Once there, Go to browse, click foreign, then find triumph (not in alphbetical order) - there is a pile of chips and codes for TR colors or colours (Canadian joke),
Still hunting for Salvador Blue..

Only charts I found with Salavodr Blue were Acme... code 379.

This chart does show both the Cotswald & Salvador... alas no DuPont listing for them here:

Certainly one of my favorite TR colours.

I happen to have a Martin Senour Triumph color chart as a Windows "desktop wallpaper" at the moment. It shows the "Cotswold" Blue (1959-60) with a Martin Senour code number 20377...if that's of ANY help!? ;-)

Kerry -

Piggott's book Original TR shows two codes for Salvador Blue. One is Dockers, which was take over by Pinchin-Johnson, a division of Courtalds Ltd. - their code is BF5323. The other is ICI-2759. Maybe this will help.
