Austin Healey Colorado Red

As a verification/comparison, it is an exact match to the Colorado Red color samples provided by Don Pikovnik in his book titled "Austin-Healey Guide to Historic Colors"

Some people have commented that the sample in Don Pikovnik's book did not match their account of what the "proper" Colorado Red color should look like, but from my understanding, this color varied quite a bit throughout the production years. Some having more yellow (orange tint) and others having more white (more red).

I once spoke with Tom Kovacs at Fourintune about this color, and he told me that from what he has observed over the years, the earlier cars tended to have more yellow in the color than the later cars. Since this formula was taken from a book printed during the later years, this may account for this version being more red than orange. Since I prefer the red over the orange, I am very happy with this version.
