*=Black bonnet decal **=Silver bonnet decal ***=? (let me know) Greyed-out codes are Triumph colors not available on the Spitfire. Other notes: Russet Brown, Inca Yellow and Tahiti Blue were also used on MGB's and Midgets. Mallard Blue is not the same color as MG's Green Mallard. British Racing Green is not the same as MG/BMC BRG colors. Carmine Red may be the same as MG's Carmine Red. Thanks Richard B. Gosling for help with dates of paint runs. back to top
