Hello Waggs91... If you go to the homepage for this site and click on the CF Brief History section and then at the lower part of that page click on the link to the sales brochures there is a picture of the 1976 yellow offering. I think it was imaginatively called bright yellow. It was a common colour on UK roads as all the telephone company Bedford vans were yellow as it was considered a safety colour. Its pretty shouty when its polished.

Regards Andy

The paint codes are:
1RD - Cargo orange
3GB - Signal green
4BL - Cargo blue
4YW - Cargo yellow
5WH - Cargo white
5YB - Signal yellow
6GN - Cargo green
7GN - Cargo chartreaux
7YB - Bedford beige
8RD - Bright red
9RD - Cargo red
9XB - Cargo grey
This will tell you what the original colours were called ,not particularly helpful in finding a substitute though.
As Andy says,take a look at the brochures then pop along to your local diy shop & see what colours they have.
