Not really sure such a thing exists. You can specify your new TVR in pretty much any colour you like, although there are some more common (dare I say standard) ones.

Waiting for someone to correct me here....

If you know the name of the colour you want I'm sure the factory can give you the paint 'code', thereby enabling you to get some made up. It works the other way around. I called the factory with the code shown on my car and they could tell me what colour it was (apart from the obvious 'green' ).

TVR do have their own colour charts available in swatches from the main dealers, they used to be the large ones on the wall - then they became a leather booklet and then went to a metal swatch holder.

But any ICI paint will do - get the number from the car in question and it can be painted so.

some colours cost more and some less but over 12 000 combinations exterior..

If your not sure ring the TVR Factory, Blackpool and ask their advice.

i know you can get any colour from ICI or glasurit, but it must be original tvr colour, not porsche, or jaguar or something else...

Sorry to bring bad news.

TVR stole evey colour they use!

I have a relatively rare Jet Black - it's either a BMW or possibly a VW colour. Whatever - it's not a TVR original!

I have the first Antigua Blue Griff...a Jaguar colour that I spotted on an XJR at Heathrow airport!

BTW, TVRC liked the colour so much they ordered a demonstrator the same colour...

There are no original tvr colours as far as I know. The flip colours are from companies that.. make flip colours.

can't remember them off hand, and tvr gives them different names, but they are off the shelf colours.

For example, this is desert moondust:
