Check back and after rationing was finally nearly over light colours for cars became popular just have a stroll through the colours used in the late 50's and the 1960's. Pale Blues, yellows, Reds, greens with nary a black in sight! Grey was also rather out of favour too. Rover used it in a few of their two tones schemes as i recall. Frind had a P5 saloon in Dover Grey and Red with the 3 litre straight six. Beautiful car that was.
