Here's a couple of factory color codes for the early squarecase SS:
sviloid metallizatto smalto alla alluminio #62011 (frame & cycle parts)
sviloid perlato azzurro #62235 (fairing)
I actually have a can of each, the blue metallic is full (.5 L), the silver
(1 L) has been reduced with thinner from a prior tank repaint. Got them from Berliner (US importer) in about 1978. The cans are labelled as being
produced by The International Paint Co. Ltd., Courtaulds Group (London) and also The Societa' Vernici Italianne Standard. I am guessing they were
produced in Italy. They are no longer in business, at least under those
names. Spent some time on the net trying to track them down. They are a perfect match for my '77 900SS. My Imola tank silver is the same, so good back to '74.

On factory colors. There will be controversy on the green frame. The official color stated on 9 May 1973 on the 750SS parts list is "azzuro metallizzato" and "alluminio metallizzato" for the silver. The problem is that azzuro is the name for blue and not green. When the parts list was created, the 72 Smart and the show bike WERE BLUE and NOT Green. During the later part of 73 the color changed but the litterature did not.
So, we are going to have a lot of people calling the green azzuro when it is not. But, the original Show bike was blue. And, maybe the Smart bike too!!
