Guy Motors paint codes

The factory colours the registry has researched on Guy Motors vehicles: 6 colours, 6 with a recorded paint code, 6 whose hex is marked as the registry’s estimate. Each hex is a representative value — averaged from photographed factory chips or quoted from a standard — not a measured match; the code is what to give a paint supplier.
