500's carried on till 76 in UK/EU,
Available colours depended on market and you need to consult a market specific parts book BUT i will hazard a guess at:-

Candy Gold
Candy Garnet Brown
Black
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).
