Desirable colours-- opinions please!!!!
Hi, I'm going to be spraying my traveller in a few weeks, but still cans decide on colour 100%.
I was tempted by the cream ( don't know the paint name!) or the (brighter) of the light blue colour.
But I'm after some opinions really- what are the more desirable colours, and the colours what appeal to everyone?
thanks for any help!

Cream = "Old English White". There are colour guides floating around the internet.
Anything but odd custom colours are likely to be desirable although some are more rare than others!

Bermuda blue, but it was originally only used on '71 travellers - and police cars.[frame][/frame]

Re: Desirable colours-- opinions please!!!!
what about the original colour??? also what colour interior do you prefer?? as the inside usually contrasts with body colour.generally the original factory colours people prefer if you come to sell it but having said that its your car and you have to live with it.try google images for some ideas

Light colours are more forgiving if the prep isn't perfect . Dark colours act a bit like a mirror and any ripples show up more
Re: Desirable colours-- opinions please!!!!
Two other colours that are along the cream spectrum would be Sandy Beige and Bedouin. Both very nice colours and worth a google image search - although I'm not sure Sandy Beige was ever used on the traveller

Re: Desirable colours-- opinions please!!!!
Thanks for the help, Bermuda blue is really appealing to me! Think I have narrowed it down to this or old English white! The original colour was a real light, dusty blue, and so I have a sort of two tone blue and cream interior.
Re: Desirable colours-- opinions please!!!!
Trafalgar Blue. I think it makes the Morris look so sophisticated.
Re: Desirable colours-- opinions please!!!!
If this thread went on long enough, every colour available would be suggested. Don't choose what someone else likes. We're all different!

Original is best but as Henry Ford once said " you can have any colour you want as long as it's black"

I've always thought a warmer green on a Traveller looks good if the wood is in clean condition. Not original of course. Should be Almond.

Re: Desirable colours-- opinions please!!!!
I wouldn't have my own car anything except Almond Green. But that was the colour of my dad's Morris. Maybe if it had been black I would have preferred that.
Anyone else find themselves driving the same model/colour as the family car they knew as a kid?
