My bit, just to muddy the waters:
1968 to 71 Heralds and Vitesses had a colour option called 'Slate
Grey' which is quite dark and looks beautiful, especially with a red
interior (entirely my opinion). The other trim option was blue. I don't
know if 2000's were painted in this colour, but it certainly fits the
period. I also don't know the code because I have a rotten memory -
can anyone else help?
There was an earlier grey called 'Dolphin Grey' which was very much
lighter.
