Old English White is a favourite :)

The colour code should be on the TMF Colour Guide in this section.

CLICK <--- here you are :D

Diamond white is also a very common mini roof colour.

What a coincidence I’ve just been looking through the colour guide for the very same thing, but still unsure as to which white to use, I think it will be diamond white as that looks the whitest?

I think diamond white is more of a 'bright' white, kitchen goods style. OEW is the classic, slightly off white.

Diamond white (NMN) also the same as a Volkswagen white, is the brightest, cleanest white by far in my opinion.

White bonnet stripes tend to be a very clean bright white like diamond white, not cloudy like OEW.
