Searching for what the colour "Haze Blue" looks like, it's a 1964 Colour according to most charts, did a search on a British Leyland Motor Company site, can't find any colour chip that matches.

Anyone on here share the same colour or at least know what it looks like?

But here's the site for anyone else who wants a look:

Kinda hard to guess what would look good on a van though, some colours look really good on sedans, but don't look quite as good on vans. Maybe it's just more metal or something I don't know. I think I like Burgundy or Moss Green.

My theory on colours is that it doesn't matter what the colour is, as long as it is really well put on, very shinny and has no imperfections, it will look fantastic!

Go the Haze Blue....I think you will be surprised how good it will look, when covering the whole car.

I reckon the Haze Blue would be great, solid colour, no white roof

however...

my van was originally Shadow Blue, I took the front part of the roof lining off a little while ago and the original paint was under there, it doesn't look much like the colour on that website

I guess your monitor can display colours differently too....just remember that.

My mini delux has the colour smoke grey, I believe it to be a 66 model, but it is not shown on the list of colours? Any one got any ideas?
