I like that school bus idea. I suppose Marino yellow may have been a registered colour, trade mark or something in the USA. I don't think it would have been changed due to Marinablau / Marinogelb confusion just in the USA. I'm not sure what marino means in German - it doesn't sound very yellow as a word to me. Just to add to the confusion Marineblau is navy blue (about 1990 VW colour). The Germans are good engineers but not the most imaginative when it comes to naming things! (no offence intended). Dave.
