The lavender on the TR6 is indeed referred to as french blue: would that be a pun?

Lavender blue


Lavender pink


Lavender purple

I guess the blue lavender suits a car. The other colours are ... a bit daft, innit?

Loving the BMC - My dads 1st car was a 16/60 Wolseley.

Ken: Ziegler D ain't lavender - as is not that Trevor. Just to show what is lavender wink

These are the cars that started my love for lavender:

So from this thread just to recap, ive spotted four lovely shades
viola
lavender
heather
orchid
Agree Lavender is somehow the best because the others might be a tad insipid, and lavender is still a colour.
All nice though.
Lavender is less saturated than most colours and it suits the beautifull 60s and 70s shapes. Check out Alfa Romeo greys: wow - compared to todays dull greys.

It's funny eh? Lavender must be the most controversial colour...

Even Google shows the lilac purple. I guess the colour I like so much is Lavender Blue.

Azurro Le Mans works well on the rounder models but not so much on the Alfetta GT:



Berlina


Montreal


Bertone
