Yep , back in the day they also changed a few other names too...

"Old English White" became "Snowgum White" when paints were locally sourced but both were supplied by Dulux for the locally assembled from imported panels MGB.

Didn't help sales though...quality control still went down in a big way and management were disinterested.
The rest is history.

People pick a colour first and then the read name underneath...same as they do with house paints for the kitchen...a pair of shoes..etc...etc.

Maybe a colour named after out national capital...
Canberra Politician...sort of a misty hard to pin down colour which vanishes when the heat is on and changes colour when the wind blows from another direction?

Just a thought...
