Good catch, let me talk to the vendor
Vendor asks if you know what color Lotus calls the green and yellow on the Clark Edition so he can try to match it from the PPG data base?
Vendor did 2 styles on the front side of the key case, let me know which one you like and if there is any change needed?

Hello @675430VME.
@1stEmiraNow2Clarks had his supercharger color matched to the car so he may know the color code. Hopefully he catches this post and replies soon.
As for the key cover, I prefer the far right one. Seems to go well with the other items.
Having color code or formula will be perfect.
I know the green is supposed to be Clark Racing Green. The yellow used to be Saffron Yellow, I will see if I can come up with the codes.
The one with the black Lotus badge, if the 82 could be put in a roundel and turned 90 degrees ( 8 towards the black Lotus logo) I might like better. It could be oval roundel shape like on the triangle badges.
The dash badge is now closer to correct; the only thing missing is Jim Clark's signature. It's on the original PDF file I gave you.
What I found with some digging..
Looks like "A42" for the green and "S201" for the yellow. Racing Green and Hethel Yellow.
Truely the artist knows his baby! I saw the new one, looked for the centered text.. and completely missed the signature missing!
I also noticed on the back? cover of the fob, the Colin Chapman logo is wrong, but close. It should be "ACBC", it's missing a "C".
Good catch!!!!
Looking again and comparing, it might be that what looks like an outer circle is the missing "C", and is just hard to reproduce.
So it is Okay, but I have an explanation, "The mans reputation was too big to fit on a fob" !!
It does not look like Hethel Yellow? Isn't it a few shades lighter, at least from online photos. There is no Clark edition in China so we are clueless on the color. @1stEmiraNow2Clarks
Oh one more thing, the logo on the mini badge is silver, do you want it silver or white? @1stEmiraNow2Clarks
On the Black round Lotus badge part? If so, stay silver please, that matches our cars badges.
Well, per Lotus info,and I cannot find my paint code sticker (but will keep looking) it is the Hethel Yellow. I think not as critical as it will not be sitting on any of the yellow on the car!
Also, yes, I think the Saffron Yellow and the Hethel Yellow are a teeny bit different. Slightly noticeable when my Clark Emira and Clark Elise are close to compare.
STOP THE PRESSES!!
Sadly, not unusually, the AI info may be wrong. I for sure found my paint code.. "M511" for the green, I'm sure. But ONLY on the fobs! The standard British Racing Green, or what ever is currently on the badges mock up is better.
I can look for the code for that.
It gives a better nodbback to the historical part.
I kinda like the contrasting badge color to put on the car. Opinions @007Lotus007 and @Eagle7
?
Heck, it might even be better to have the fob color match the badges.. ? I'm okay with that. The badges denote or touch the history, the car is the new interpretation.
