I don't think there were any standard colours apart from variations on 
British Racing Green with stripes. They were mostly cellulose with 
painted on stripes and signwriting - no vynils in those days (although 
Letraset may have been around). Metallic paints were rare, except for 
BRM and Aston-Martin.
