We went to test drive a goldy/greeny/somethingy Tuscan at Hawthorns when they first came out.

Rod described it as 'Chameleon'.

That's it. Just 'Chameleon'.


God I wish I could spell. Its this damn disklecksia you know....

It's Chameleon Blue. Chameleon Green is the T350 motorshow and press car.

No! it must be Cham GREEN! it's green mostly but then it's blue sometimes?

In fact in the film it's sometimes a gold colour depending on the lighting! But then it's also full of bullet holes which makes everybody in the room scream!

Which manufacturer actually makes this paint anyway?

We need a web hunt here - the Chameleon Paint Web Chase (unfortunately not sponsored by TVRCC!)

Well at least the factory told me this and you can easily spot the difference when you compare the Tuscan to the T350... Tuscan is mainly blueish, T350 is greenish

AFAIK the swordfish car is Chameleon blue. Chameleon green looks much more dark green, which is the colour the TVR Centres first Tuscan demonstrator was.(which might be in the archives somewhere here on PH.)

All irrelevant at the end of the day cause Reflex Purple is the best

It's chameleon blue. I've not heard of many cars painted chameleon green - and a story from a dealer is that someone had their car specced in that colour, it turned up and they didn't like it - it's a lighter green than the chameleon blue. Not sure if they had it resprayed or not.....

Definately Chameleon Blue because thats what I have!

Lisa also describes it as that when she shows you THE Swordfish car tucked away in a corner of the factory!

When I went to the NEC show, one of the people in the TVR booth explained to me that the difference between "chameleon" paint and "reflex" paint was that chameleon only has one basic color (e.g. the Chameleon Green T350) even though the color shifts depending on light/angle where the reflex paints change between multiple colors (e.g. Reflex Purple which shifts from purple to green).

Anyone know this to be right or wrong?

John at Racing Green provided a very similar explanation just last week. I wasn't concentrating enough to really take in what he said though as I was busy wiping the floor with my tongue at the time......

Swordfish car - Chameleon Blue
T350 Press Car - Formula Chameleon Green
PW Cerbera - Chameleon Green (I think, there is a definate difference between Cham green and Formula Cham Green - the former is a light hue and the latter a dark hue).

As for the difference between Reflex and Chameleon, its exactly the same paint but supplied by different companies (as far as I remember).

At the top of the tree sits Cascade which is a 3,4 or 6 way flip.
