Please can you add the colour names used by cars in the post war era.

For example, my father had a Ford Cortina in Saluki Bronze, which sounded better than Polished Turd, so the marketing men went with it, even though the latter was more accurate.

All of the automotive colours had imaginative names then, however, the colour was dependent on light, so a singular RGB value is always a bit naive.

Very impressive presentation, not sure it is a usable tool or a definite resource without Saluki Bronze though.
