British Racing Green (BRG) originated in 1903 when British race cars were painted shamrock green in honor of Ireland for hosting the Gordon Bennett Cup
This colour dilemma is the perfect analogy for the reason why I only use streaming to try out new music, but not as a main listening source - too much choice!. For serious listening, I prefer to select from my LP or CD collection, which makes the decision of what to play a lot easier!. One man did an experiment on the same principle using jars of jam in various flavours - firstly he put out 30 different jams on a table and asked people to select 2 they would like to have if they were free. Most people took a very long time to choose and kept chopping and changing between options. He then limited the selection to 6, and people very quickly chose the two they wanted. Glad you chose a colour Phil, hope you like them when they arrive. Imagine spending £8000 on a pair and then the wife says she hates the colour you went for!!
@@moonwrasse is it I looked it was a manufacturer of making a colour mixing machine, can't be the only company making colour making machines?? it's a colour chart it's not a Pantone! that's just a manufacturer. strange he referred it to that name of a manufacturer it's like saying Dulux or crown. it means nothing. now if you had a code that would be a different matter or the name of the colour. he's not even American, so why is he bringing up American manufacturer of machine for just seems weird. and another thing why is a company painting they could put a wrap around it, you could offer multiple colours it's a lot easier and cheaper to put a wrap and can be more durable than paint. companies should be offering wrap colours not painting can get some nice freaky colours as well pearl essence what would look nice
@@hoobsgroove the whole printing industry worldwide uses Pantone PMS system. It is a recognised standard worldwide. The code that was chosen was PMS 431. It’s a grey. You can order PMS 431 anywhere in the world and it will be the same formula. There is also RAL system for colour but that is not used in the printing industry.

I was thinking of duck egg blue, so close enough!
Any colour as long as it's black. Pantone 431 on my TV coming across as a light blue. I'd prefer a brown, wood effect finish.

Pantone 431 on the video looks more blue than grey. In real life it is a mid blue grey.
Looks light blue on my phone 😂
Look blue to me too, in real life it is grey!
HI French Blue - Renault & Porsche do it in straight colour (not metallic!)
