I have a launch brochure which includes Primrose Yellow and explains that:

"The chart shows combinations of exterior and interior colours that work particularly well."

Note that it doesn't state that anything is unavailable. To support this, in the introduction the brochure says: "If you've ever dreamed of designing your own car, here's the opportunity. Every key area of your Rover 75's specification can be directed by you ... Be your own interior designer."

This confirms that any combination of paint and interior could be ordered, the only exception being the Personal Line interior colours. This held true from launch through to my 2004 facelift brochure which carefully uses the word "recommended" in the paint/trim combination chart.

As it was quite an innovation for a mainstream car manufacturer to offer such wide choice, it is understandable that the situation has been misunderstood.
