Factory two-tone options for the W108 & W109

I am picking up a W108 280SE 4.5 on Saturday that needs the roof repainted. My W111 220SE and my W116 280SE both have two tone paint jobs, and I think it would be cool if my W108 continues the two-tone theme.

I am wondering if someone has a chart showing the factory combinations for the W108 and W109. The Fintail pages have scans showing the original brochures with the factory color combinations, but most of the old W108/W109 pages are gone.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds nice! What colors are the body and interior? On two tones the hubcaps were painted to match the roof.

I believe this car is DB-460 with Bamboo interior.

My fintail was originally DB670 or DB608 with a DB186 roof. The car had been repainted several times prior to my ownership, and the last owner painted the roof black with a non-factory beige body. I repainted the hubcaps and upper door frames to match what the factory would have done. Interestingly enough, a black roof on a beige car was not a factory color combo according to the book I have.

Does anyone know if the two tone scheme 050G and 268H exists?

Also, is the A pillar along with the doorframe painted the body color or roof color?

Thankyou! cant seem to find how the original two tone was painted
