Had a Dolomite in that colour. Always thought of it as "dogshit brown", never mind what BL called it.
Also had a Mini from around that period in "Sandglow", a kind of nowt-nor-summat mustardy yellow. Except that it is now the coolest colour going as "Camel Trophy" colour. Funny how your perceptions change.
