That Yellow is Highway Yellow or traffic Yellow ( LRC 561 ) it was a left over colour from a Sydney County Council contract came out in 1980

I had an 83 four door RRC in the same light green colour. Did not realise how unique it was until I tried to find an image that matched the same colour. In addition to some Peugeot colours they also had a Holden metallic green which JRA called Satin Green, but closest Holden match I can find at this time was a colour called Ice Green.

I can confirm that, my CKD Classic is a Peugeot colour, very close to Plymouth Blue, but not quite.

Thank you gentlemen all for your replies. I will check these out and report back. What a great forum! :)

The Holden paint colour name may not be what I quoted, certainly a difficult one to track down. Definitely a classy and unique colour.

Thanks D-DB,
At least I have been able to narrow the list down to the Holden/Peugeot Ice Green, Satin Green, which are probably the favourites, + Satin Slate. I am sure my paint guy (Alan Howe at Mermaid Smash repairs -he has looked after me for years) will know what it is or isn't once I mention the 'Holden' word.
