Malcolm,

This is the colour from the formula in the link:

It's a deep grey with an almost green tinge.

Regards

Edward

Fast Eddie's description is right.

Alfio colour matched my engine paint, from the rocker cover of my other original engine, certainly looks similiar to Ed's, and certainly has green in it.
The 1956 FEs were quite different in colour from the earlier Holdens.
