This may help
Looks LIKE 118 to me

Thanks Chris
I will see if my paint shop can find the formula for a couple of the early greys.
They only have Gris Rose AC136 ( Wheel colour) on their computer.
They can colour match by eye but then can't reverse calculate and provide a formula for re mixing later... ('cos of adding little bits here and there to achieve an eye match.)
I will investigate further using the Cats list.

The wheel color is AC140, AC136 is for headlight lamp support and bumpers.

May help...

Thanks again.
Taskos, the matchcolour app looks good but I will need to get a friend to load it as I am using Apple/iphone!

I'll be a bit more specific.
I have an AZU Van( about 1970/71) that is a light blue/grey and I think from the show-through of red primer that it is probably the original colour?
However during conversion to RHD ( or rust removal) it has obviously had a bulkhead panel from a "Bamboo" (-green )....and during numerous repairs /touch ups the colour now varies as each paint job gets eye-matched.
The doors only, show a similar colour underneath to the '55 photo I posted.
I expect then that they may have been replaced ?
Anyway it is time for a total repaint and given that it has a 602/disc brakes etc it probably is not "original" and so I don't care if it changes colour although I would like to keep it a Citroen colour.
I happen to like the more" industrial warm-grey" ( vs the "cold" greys seen on Charlestons etc) for the commercial vehicle ( see new photo/link) ...hence my request to find out a paint code for this.
Again, any assistance gratefully received
Cheers
Bob

Could it be AC 132 Gris Clair? The lighting when the picture was taken and screen setup change the visible colours on the laptop.

I know my van will get AC 132 treatment in the (hopefully) near future

And as you started talking about "warm" and "industrial" color qualities
you may find this very interesting:

Thanks Rustman and Taskos
I will see if I can get some samples mixed if they can find the formulae.

Taskos the DS link is very interesting to me as I have a Low Km. '74/5 DS23 EFI 5-speed Pallas that I have owned for about 35 years! ( as second owner ) Bought it from a Medical Doctor.
It is in Borely Ivory ....which is a similar colour to a urine -soaked baby's nappy...I don't like it

The interior was blue velour but under the harsh Australian sun it rotted like most others.
I had it re-trimmed in tan velour ( should have gone all the way with Tabac leather).

It is also due for a repaint and now that the interior is no longer original..neither is the car.
Again I will choose an appropriate period citroen colour and your link is very appropriate ...thanks
