I don't know of a particular colour that is hard to find but I know there is a variety of colours used, Maybe Jason or Wolfie can help us here.

What a gem, with crimped axles and chisel cut rivets too, is the paint colour from the 46b pickfords van?

On my firs photo is the Doge with catalogue from 1966 where is pictured Pre-Pro model. In 1967 Catalogue is standard version of it with modified Horse Box (roof window, baseplate).

I try to compare other green models and the same color have only 30c 8 wheel crane which is from 1965.
