[Healeys] Color poll please (SOT, Jag)

[Healeyguy]

My old Dupont (USA) paint charts shows Golden Beige Metallic as 8178L (lacquer) and the Jag Golden Sand Metallic as 8318L. Two different mix codes. The corresponding UK paint name for "metallic" according to the Jag books is Opalescent.  Makes you wonder why Jaguar used Sand instead of Beige.  Oh that would have been Opalescent Golden Grey.  Sounds like sunset in London. My apologies to all the UK listers.

All this talk of Golden Beige Metallic Healey got me to thinking about a 
early sixties XKE I saw a few years ago, most beautiful E I have ever seen, 
metallic gold color (and i am usually not fond of that particular color, but 
it was really striking), I believe it was called Opalescent Sand, I know Jag 
was not part of BMC at the time, but they may have used the same paint 
suppliers, anybody know if this was the same color as the AH GBM??
