Grey colours

Post by Cam »

Has anyone got a picture of a Dove grey car?

Also, can Rose Taupe be classed as a type of grey or not?

Opinions folks?

it's more kind of cacky brown colour - I'd certainly not call it grey

Dove grey:

although it often seems a bit more dove like (ie a hint of beige in the grey)

Both Rose Taupe & its replacement - Peat had GR paint codes (GR27 & 30) so BMC classed them as greyish.

Rose Taupe always looks like a purpley-brown to me, like a really bad bruise is the only way i can describe it.
