1967 T120 correct color code

Hi, I plan to paint my 1967 T120 in the correct color.

I would really appreciate if you could help me out and let me know the exakt color code of that purple color and that white color.

Thank you so much
Marc from Germany

Meriden built Triumphs never had paint "codes". All the colors had Triumph-created names. There is a tech thread on paints / colors and where to get them, I'll link back.

"Aubergine" is the correct color, with "Alaskan White". My bike is correct and the photo I posted is in decent light where you get a good rendiion of what it looks like in person.

The colors must be laid over a base coat of Gold Sheen (very fine metallic).

The paint was sourced from Don Hutchinson who is the American authority on the correct paints for old Triumphs.

I will get you the European source.
