Thanks paddles.

I took the trouble to PM a couple of guys in Switzerland, see if they had info on the colours.

Meantime, I browsed through the Swiss SVX website, and the German one.

There are a good few pictures that answered at least some of the unknowns;

1) Was graphite grey offered in Germany? Yes it was, there are one or two cars in the photos, and Paul has the 222 code above for '93.

2) Was Bright Yellow offered? For sure, for sure. One meet had 3 of them.

3) Did Germany get Polo Green/Bright Green Mica? Plenty of them.

4) Which bright reds were available? The most common light reds on show are the Barcelona with black roof, and the Ruby Mica with black roof.

5) Did Germany get Teal/Peacock or Emerald Green? Hard to say from photos. In the '97-'98 shots, there is one very dark green car. Looks green all over. So it is either an Emerald Green or a Polo shot too dark.

6) Did Germany get Laguna/Bright Blue? None at any of the meets.

7) Most unexpected? Not many Clarets, and only ONE Silver and Black at meetings. The silver was tarted up.
