I used BS 381C Deep Brunswick green to respray my Lomax.
It is very close to my Lomax original jel coat, although the jel coat was hard to match well as all panels had faded to different shades. I used the rear wheel arch as not affected by sunlight.

Google "Llewellyn Ryland" , then look for their "standard range" for the gel coat colours - BRG is listed as 3712. See the following link

Bill, if you're trying to match the yellow in your profile picture, it looks like mine -- which is Inca Yellow (Rover/Triumph Code FAB or 207)

Thanks Andy, I identified my colour not long after posting my query back in 2017. My car is "Golden Yellow" - RAL3754 and a few years ago I ordered some Gel coat in order to fill some drilled holes - all matched perfectly.

Interesting... I wonder if they're different names/codes for the same colour? I guess we'd have to park side-by-side to know!

The Bright Yellow Lomax are always "Golden Yellow 3754" gelcoat,
Other lighter option was "Jasmine 4811" with a few in very light "Daffodil 17392"

My 223 is a dark blue - possibly closest I can find is Royal Blue.
Anyone know what the actual Lomax colour might be?
Have not managed a trip to a body works yet to get their opinion!

I was told some time ago that my Lomax circa 1996-98 is Malachite Green - Malachite being the mineral providing pigmentation.
Quite a dark version of BRG.
(Malachite used as it has good resistance to fading)
