Are you well into the refurb 'bagpuss'.. I've been wondering if you were making progress.
Re the colour.. how's about a light turquoise..
Although I'm distracted by other things at the moment, I'm quietly acquiring parts for the Sun Snipe Prestige with a view to a refurb at some later date..

Vanilla Cornish icecream/pale yellow similar to the late Sheldon Browns Rochet?

Going for the well used look . Cleaning it up as best as possible . Chrome will take a lot of time. Pictures coming soon .

I was also going to suggest pale yellow (BMW Dakar Yellow). Or sage green (RAL 6011) or lavender. Not lilac, which is pale pink-purple, lavender, which is pale blue-purple. RAL 4005.
