The original color is called Polychromatic Green with a darker green head tube. The Poly Green is different from later Raleighs of the same name according to several sources. Don't know about the pedals. They are stashed at the moment. I have gone as far as having Gus Salmon reproduce the markings. So the option to refinish is there.
