That was a pretty popular colour for those.A friend of my Dad had a Russet Brown 2500S estate.
The 70's;
Russet (BL), Bark Metallic (Talbot/Chrysler), Roman Bronze (Ford), Milan Brown (shame on you M-B).
Often seen with a vinyl roof and contrasting velour.
If you're too young to remember that's your advantage.
Believe me, you don't want it back.
A car, is a sophisticated piece of engineering, would you want a brown iPod?
I rest my case.

No, not lovely! It looks a little......, brown.
911s should be 'sharp blue', like the one I had. This was my first car and the one I taught my wife to drive in 20 something years ago. She's doing a hand stand on the beach because she'd just learned how to control the nasty rear end tendency of 1980's 911s

Around 1980 I painted a van for an Asian guy.... He wanted cheap... Very cheap. He moaned at the price of the paint and I said I could use some cock up colour that the paint supplier had mixed up slightly wrong.... But even that was too expensive.
In the end I used the slops from the bucket the paint company threw their discarded paint. It was brown.... Slops are always brown.... So I painted this van. In s

Since then I just can't get my head around a brown car....
