Colour and the DVLA will always be a difficult one - there is an assumption on their documents that a car is a single colour, not taking into consideration:
- coach built classics which are two tone (or modern Rolls / Bentley equivalents)
- classics / older cars with a replaced panel where the owner doesn't bother respraying it (c.f. half the classic landrovers running around!)
- weird more modern cars like the polo harelquin where there are a number of colours from the manufacturer
I once registered an imported US police car which was black and white. I entered "black/white" on the form and it was registered as black.

I checked a few Harlequin Polos and there were all like:

Registration number P850 OHE
Make VOLKSWAGEN
Colour MULTI-COLOUR

Also interestingly, all I found on Google Images are all still either registered or SORN.
