Camel Trophy Yellow is a sand yellow shade from Number Five named after the expedition Land Rovers of the Camel Trophy event.
Responsibility details are not available.
The shade bears its name after the Camel Trophy, an off-road expedition event run from 1980 to 2000, whose vehicles set out in a uniform sand yellow paint. It is not a signal or a lemon yellow: it is a warm tone with an ocher cast, which on the large surface of a body comes across as earthy rather than loud, and that is exactly why it became the mark of recognition of the whole event.
The Camel Trophy rested on Land Rover machinery from the beginning. The Range Rover, the Series III, the Ninety and One Ten types, the Defender and the Discovery took their turns in it, and in the last editions the Freelander. The expedition equipment, that is a roof rack, a snorkel, a winch, protective cages and spare wheels on the hood, belongs to their look as much as the paint does. The routes led through Amazonia, Borneo, Madagascar, Siberia and Mongolia, so the bodies almost never appear clean in photographs of the time.
It will be reached for by a modeler who builds off-road vehicles and wants a yellow exactly in the position of the expedition Land Rovers: saturated enough to be recognized at first sight, and subdued enough to carry a layer of dirt. It will serve well in building dioramas on an expedition theme too, where the uniform paint of a convoy is the main link of a whole scene. The vehicles of the later editions had black plastic trim and gray protective cages added to the yellow, so before a build it pays to verify which edition the subject belongs to.
