The paint chip the store scanned for me years
ago, on a chart that said 59 Triumph, looks just
like the Cotswold Blue on the chart you linked
to. When I got the paint it did look lighter
than I thought it was going to be. But as I
mentioned it is very close to all the Jag
pictures I've seen since then so I chalked it up
to how the scanners interpret the colors. I have
seen one other Triumph that the owner said he
had painted Cotswold Blue and it was close to
mine also. I usually describe it as a smoky
medium blue. I have gotten a lot of compliments
over the years for the color choice so I guess
that's all that matters.

I don't know either; but I think you'll agree
that the examples you gave don't match the color
given on the website that Jonmac linked to
either. Which was my original point, I don';t
think the color shown is correct.
Here's the scanned color chip I mentioned
before:

I'll add that it seems more likely to me that
Standard-Triumphs' "Cotswold Blue" was not the
same as Jaguar's "Cotswold Blue". But again, I
don't know that.

Subject: [TR] Paint color discussion
I found the paint color discussion interesting
in that I painted my 59 TR3A Cotswold Blue in
2001. My local auto paint store had a 59 Triumph
color code sheet in one of their books and they
scanned it to mix up my paint. I saw a picture
of a Jag XK150 on a magazine cover a while back
and it said it was Cotswold Blue and it looked
very close to my color. I attached 3 other XK150
pictures and they all show colors close to mine.
I just Googled "cotswold blue xk150" to find
these. Actually, when I type "cotswold blue
tr3a" into Google, the first picture I see is my
TR3A with the white top on it. While I think the
blue in the car ad Randall posted is attractive,
I am not sure where they are getting Cotswold
Blue from that.
