My dad's first car was a Morris Minor 1000, bought brand-new in 1963 and it was green. I have a feeling the colour was known as Cumberland green. Anyone care to confirm that?

Not according to the MMOC website -
Chris,
If it is of any use, my first car was a Morris 1000 Traveller DXD101B (ie
1964) and that was Almond Green so the year / colour ties up.Andrew Mawson
Yes, I have looked at the page here
Cumberland Green GN35 was used on the Wolseley, Rily, Elf and Kestral between 1960-1968.
Almond Green GN37 was used on the Morris Minor, Oxford, Riley, Kestral and BMC commercials between 1961-1970.
But there are dozens of greens that were used during that period.
Regards,
Steve.
I know Almond Green was a colour on Morris Mini's in 1963... so I guess it could also have been used on Minors.
