This gets my vote... great color for this era defender.

I keep reading the thread title as "What colour should my landlady be"?

I like the Arles blue for the record.... For the Landy not the landlady.

Paint it the color of the local soil, wash less often.......

My first pick is the light green only because that was the color rover I roamed around the Cotswolds in as a student.

Shaun the sheep made the blue for my 2nd choice.

I would repaint the original color , and add the black highlights to the fenders.

NOTE The Red will fade after about 18 months of hot sunshine,
the light color will not get as hot nor fade as fast,
Please post pictures of what you decide.

I agree with Mrmerlin.

How about Porsche Talbot Yellow with a cream white top?

I thought this would be a good color combination for a Defender 90 or an old International Scout for a while.

Looks good with black accents as well (not my car).
