Richard, I'm not sure it is just Morgan folk. I have a family member who works in the industry and was recently telling me how frequently shades are 'adopted' by different makers and renamed. I do understand the need to do that but it did make me wonder how often two owners park their cars in a car park, different brands and vehicles, and comment on how similar the car colours are.

Anybody know the official name of it?

And, the more I've looked at it, the more I've wondered whether it is Porsche Macadamia Metallic sometimes also known as Macadamia Brown Metallic. It would support Richard's comment above about using a paint from a premium brand and it does look very similar to a 991 I had in that colour. Porsche only offered it for a few years (perhaps even only one) and it was stunning in the metal but I do think the word 'brown' is an automatic 'no' when it comes to car paint for many, which killed it off early.
