1967 Opel Kadett Rallye paint options

Thought I would find this in the forums but did not. Is it true that 1967 Opel Kadett Rallyes came only in Silver or Red exterior option, both with the black rallye stripes?

. . . there's nothing in either the 1967 FSM or GM Kadett sales brochure that specifically states that, so you could technically order the '67½ Model 32 coupe "Rallye" option [11SR engine, Rallye gauges and lights, black side stripes and hood, 4.1 rear axle ratio] in any of the available colors for that year, seven [brochure, no silver listed and same as '66 listing in FSM] or eight [FSM].

I tried to do some research on colors for models for each year but it was too vague based on the stuff that I had available. It either was missing or unclear whether they talking about base, luxus, or rallye when applicable. Is there somewhere where it is definitive.

I have a 1967 "Buick's Opel Kadett 1967....the year you get Opel fever." sales brochure and on page 10-11 they show a silver Kadett Rallye which states..."and you have a choice of exterior paint--silver and black or red and black.
There is no print date on the brochure.
It does list the pricing at East: $2,192.23 and West: $2,278.23.

Colors

I cannot say I have seen the 67-1/2 available in any other color. I know that 68-70 you could only get the Rallye in certain colors as well, but there were more choices

Years ago I got a hold of a table stipulating Rallye colors from 1966 to 1973. Based on that, there were indeed several alternatives available at least in Europe.
