Yes, Champagne yellow was special color and Bali Blue standard.
Christophorus in Sept announced it and 9/64 color chart confirms.
And yes, we over the years all read the wrong infos in any book published, except Johnson.
It got unnoticed because part of a thread discussion few followed, Haul made it more public.

Thanks Dave, this is great to have! Mine is 1744, and interesting to note 1731-1749 were all painted Bali Blue in succession. That's 19 in a row

Dave, that's great info. Are the cars you list all Bali Blues made by the factory or just the ones that exist today on your database?
The reason I ask is that there is a long- (long as in initial production of a new model back in 1965!) run from VIN 301731 to 301749 i.e 15 consecutive cars in Bali Blue. Do you have a feel for how many cars the factory would typically hold back to paint in a 'batch'?
