Well, the attached picture was not of my car, but one that best showed the color like my car. These are pictures of my car...
Then your car is definitely Corail - I can tell from the collection of photos.
On the french site linked earlier, the only color that would be close is the cannelle...
The colour of the car in the first item of this thread is nothing like Cannelle. Cannelle is a dark brown bronze, and was only used on the Murena in 1983. It is also used on the Rancho. The Rancho never used Corail to my knowledge. If you want to see a Murena in Cannelle, download my brake booklet from my website. The car on the cover is a 1983 Cannelle.
You must be careful about cars and photos on other websites. For example, there are some cars registered on the Murena-Espace website where the owner has stated it is Cannelle when you can see it is Corail and since the car is a 1981 that would be correct. The Platine (Gold), Corail (light rosy metallic) and Cannelle (dark bronze) are quite different, and as I stated the original picture here shows a car in Corail if it is the original Murena colour, or possibly Terre de Feu from the Bagheera, OR it is not a Matra colour at all. It does look too 'full bodied' if you can understand me, which is why I am a bit dubious about it. I thought it might just be the photo, but since the ones of your car look O.K., maybe not.
I have an original 1982 Talbot-Matra colour chart which shows the Platine and Corail. Whether it will scan and display correctly, I'm not sure but I might try it.

Hmm, Sorry to say this Roy, but the color of my car was Platine. Had the mixingguy check the color against the sample, and the Platine was a perfect match. But you were right about it not being Canelle, I see that it is a much darker color, always thought that it was the lighting that made it some shades darker and that it was one and the same color.
