BN6 Colorado Red cars had red interiors with black piping, or gray interiors
with red piping.
BN6s were available in Colorado red with black coves, but the interiors were
red with black piping. -Be aware that the black paint only goes up to the
first break in the swage line, and that the crease itself remains red.
My BT7 was C. Red and I wanted to use a black interior if at all possible. I
contacted the tricarb registry and they were able to produce for me one BMIHT
certificate for a C red 62 tricarb car with black interior red piping, which
allowed me to do the same, with documentation. You may want to try contacting
the registry keeper for the BN6
Without such documentation, you really need to go with the officially accepted
combinations. You probably would not get deducted for it at most open class
(multi-marque) judgings. but you would have deductions at a Healey
competition.

Subject: Getting ready to paint - two tone?
Hi, I have a 59 100-6 BN6.
Was my car available with a black interior with red piping? If not, does
installing this interior scheme detract from an eventual concours rating?
My car was originally red. Was it available with Black Coves?
I really would like the car to be red with black coves and a black interior
with red piping. If this is objectionable from a concours standpoint,
please let me know.
Thanks.
