If you contact the Factory then they will send you colour samples. I asked for Sport white (formally Sport Ivory and the same colour), Royal Ivory ( not quite the same as Sport white/ivory being a bit richer in colour if that makes sense) and Sport sand to compare. Originally I wanted Sand having seen some pictures of cars in this colour but when I saw the Sand sample it was far darker than I expected. There wasn't a great deal of difference between Royal Ivory, a very popular Morgan colour over the years and the Sport white to my eye so I opted for the latter.
If in doubt black of course is a very safe but but having lived with my current 4/4 for the past 20 years in that colour I wanted a change!! Hopefully I'll be picking my car up next week so I'll post a picture.

With my Sports Green 4/4 in 2010 there was a colour plate in with the handbook etc. - it has a number embossed and I presume it is so a computer can match the colour - also known as Le Mans Green - which , incidentally, I think goes wonderfully with the tan leather interior.

I have just got my car a 4/4 plus 4 1992 and the advert described the colour as Royal Ivory and I would describe it as a warm white or creamy white looks great with the black interior

Sport White or Sport Ivory is the same thing as previously mentioned. Royal Ivory is a slightly darker tint and some people believe it looks better in the softer English light. Another popular colour is Sport Sand.

Sport White or Sport Ivory is the same thing as previously mentioned. Royal Ivory is a slightly darker tint and some people believe it looks better in the softer English light. Another popular colour is Sport Sand. Earlier this year we had 3 cream cars all parked up next to each other in the same daylight conditions, Rosie the older royal ivory, NeilM's the newer royal ivory and another MOG that I believe was sports white. Neil's if remember was a creamier white if I recall correctly, and the Sports white was a purer white. I hope that helps. Also the type of paint does effect the colour hue, the colour in 2 pack will be slightly different to that in water based, I think this shows up even more in metallics. There are various web threads on restoration sights that demonstrate this with the supposedly same colour but using different types of paint sprayed on the same primer next to each other and the end result looks quite different. Best to get a sample of the colour that will be used to judge the end result.

Be assured Sport Ivory and Sport White are identical colours as those of us who have examined colour plates at the factory and discussed the topic at the factory can confirm. As you can see from my signature I have even mentioned it there.
Like many colours it can seem different depending on light conditions but it could never be described as a bright white. For me it is one of the two classic Ivory colours used on Morgans. The other, as quite correctly stated a creamier shade, is Royal Ivory.
From there, choosing a bespoke colour, you can have whatever tint you like.
PS. The colour in my signature photo gives you a pretty good idea of what it is like.

It is just a bit strange, the 2011 brochure says sports ivory, the 2012 brochure says sports white, the web site car creator shows ivory not white as one of the standard colours ??

Of course mine is as pure as the day it left the factory. Neil

Neil  Other TMers can now see what I have to put up with down here in East Devon  I can confirm that having seen Neil & Adrian's cars side by side, the colour is noticeably different. However neither can match the lustrous shine of Stanley  Bud
