Rob,
two colors from the factory were listed as [purple] listed in the reds.
Aconite BMC/BL code BLVC 95, PPG/DITZLER 14728, DUPONT 43274.
Black Tulip BMC/BL BLVC 23, PPG/DITZLER 14417, DUPONT 30015.
Black Tulip listed in 1973, Aconite in 1974 & 1974.5
I have not seen an Aconite car, but IMHO Black Tulip is beautiful.
Cheers,
John[Scotty]Scott,
Adelaide,OZ.
