The cab colours are listed as either orange or yellow on the variation table although the text refers to them as construction yellow or shades of orange/yellow. Looking through mine, I think there are three clear distinctions (yellow, orange/yellow and orange). I know colours/shades are often debatable but are there any thoughts on this?

I agree that there are three distinctive colours, but I would call them lemon, yellow and orange-yellow.
Orange is a totally different colour - just look at the Monteverdi Hai or Tanzara for example!

I do not have one of these RW examples and have never seen one live yet (as far as I know), so I cannot be sure, but it looks lemon to me.
A side-by-side view with another model (perhaps the 33c Miura in its common colour) would be helpful.

Hello Numi, John, Christian and all,
Back late in 2013 and early 2014 Mike showed us some very good comparison photos of the 21d alongside a number of other models. Like John’s photo they are very good reference photos.
The conclusion then was that Mike’s cab was the lemon colour. See this thread for full discussion
here
Thanks for adding the original photo, excellent shot by the way.

Hello all, I just wanted to check there's no confusion because my models are superfast unlike Mike's.

Thanks for the correction JB.Now this is a different ball game altogether
and have to keep Mikes truck out of this.
