Old English White

[ncbugeye]

Has anyone found a color similar enough to Old English White (OEW) in the rack of touch-up paints that you typically find in the neighbourhood auto-accessory shop in the US?

There are several versions of white available, but without buying about half a dozen I can't be sure what would be closest to OEW.

While thinking about it, does anyone know what the RGB value approximates to OEW?

I think that Chrysler's Stone White would be pretty close to OEW. Volkswagen also have a new creamy-white colour for their '07 range which might be worth looking at, but I would say that the Chrysler shade is more likely to be in the auto-parts store's rack....

You all know Old english white is not white. Is is the most beautiful cream you have ever seen.

Great shot Jack! Personally, I don't think OEW really shows it's true color on a computer screen. Much nicer in person.

Another source for a touch up color would be the New Mini "pepper white".

No does not show on computer. It is a very light cream that you can fall into. More like rich ice cream than anything else.

Heh, I'll show you next summer at the Lake.

The color rendition is not good, but not bad for a post card that's almost 50 years old; I thought you might enjoy seeing it:

There are others, including the back of this one, at my web site under the "Documentation" link.
