TR6 Sienna?

I sold my brown '74 TR6, but I recall the brown was called MAPLE; don't remember the paint/ trim numbers.
The Siena in the pics seems a much darker brown.
 
Maple was the brown that replaced Sienna as the "brown choice." Maple in turn was replaced by Russet as the "brown choice." As for color chips that we see on the computer, I don't think that you can put much stock in what you see other than as kind of a guide. Even the old paint books with the actual color chips left some room for error. I had mentioned Bedouin earlier, here's a screen capture shot of a car in Bedouin along with screen capture shots from three on line sources of Bedouin paint chips. One of the MGBs that I had was Bedouin. When I looked at the paint chips my reaction was too dark, too dark, too gray, then I found the car image and it was more in line with my memory of the color.
