I thought there was no choice, just ivory. No doubt I shall now be corrected!

I have the full list in my RS book, which I don't have handy.
Are you interested in any colour in particular?

Anyone able to help me out with colour pictures of Tangerine; Gulf Blue & Gulf Orange (preferably of an RS) - or refer me to some reference source.

Tangerine is 'Blut Orange' and Gulf Orange is slightly paler.
You should get a copy of the Carrera RS book, or try and see the colours in the metal because they do get corrupted in photographs.
Eynsham Hall is only 10 days away.
