tonydrover Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 When a Landy has a creamy/white roof what colour is it known as? Mine needs a repaint but not sure what colour it's called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 possibly Ivory white, that's what my 1989 110 has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerfred Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 A S111 that I had years ago had the colour called 'buttermilk' which was a very creamy colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Chawton white is a whole vehicle colour. The roof would match. I think the normal white is Arctic white. Im not sure if this is just an old name for Chawton - as far as I know, Arctic is very slightly yellower than the chalky tone of Chawton, but that may be a perception error when seeing white roofs against coloured panels as opposed to a completely white vehicle. The old creamy colour has always been "Limestone", used from SIs to 90s and 110s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyoldgit Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 You really need to give some idea of the age of the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russianfrog Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I am thinking of painting the roof of my 2007 Puma which was then only available in dark green. What do you guys think is the best option? Chawton, Arctic Limestone? Or they are all nuances of ivory white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocklandjohn Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Mine's is ...ahem...er...um....Ford Diamond White and nobody makes any comment about it not being chalky enough... :-) (it was on offer in Halfords honest guvnor....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chawton, Arctic Limestone? Or they are all nuances of ivory white? Limestone will look odd against dark green, especially metallic. It works better with solid pastel colours, ie. the old Leyland and earlier colours of the Series era. The only modern Defender colour it'd go well with is the modern Pastel green on the Heritage special edition and the specials last year, similar to the Atlantic green of the first SIs. I think Chawton or Arctic, if that was the Defender roof white name, would be best, but it doesn't really matter as long as it is a fairly clean white and you make a note of the code for future touch ups.

mickeyw Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Western is spot on, Ivory white. Our 1987 90 CSW was Ivory white all over. Limestone is a series roof and upper side panel colour, oh and wheels too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
