Hi Jaggu, for Mercedes Benzes of the 50s, this colour would be called "cream". BTW, whatever happened to tracking that parcel (which now is obviously lost) of mine in 2012? I know you were trying to help but you didn't reply to my messages. Just wondering.

Hi Anyone can help me with the Grey shade it was probably called the thunder grey for a 61 Ambassador. I need the formulation if añyone would have.
Thanks

Here is part of a Duco shade card of the 70s showing Ambassador and President colours - maybe it could be of some use.



My 62 model Ambassador OHV was originally Smoke Grey, there are some traces of the paint in the engine bay. I will try and get some pictures, though it can vary greatly in a photo.

Do you have this card with you?? If so, could you take a pic. of the Gazel shades as well?

Here is the whole shade card, dating from 1974.

Wonderful forum this! The breadth and depth of information shared never ceases to amaze me

Dear Sir, I have bought a 1990 Premier Padmini, and the RC book was not updated with the color of the vehicle. The owner mentioned that the colour was called "Pot Grey", however I do not know if it is a factory colour. Can you please help?
