Brilliant Red with a white stripe was the only color option for the '71 AT1C, The 1970 AT1B was Yellow with a black stripe.
Are you sure about the year of your bike? Of course it's possible that in the last 40+ years it has been swapped or painted.

I have not tried their paints but have had a discussion with them on their paints. They sell a paint for Yamahas "Clean White" paint. This is the color of all U.S. MXs in 75. The 76 XT,TT,and MX125 and all European YZs but is also used on a dozen or so colors from the mid to late 70s as a basecoat. Yamahas formula is a Pearl White Basecoat followed by a Clear Topcoat. They tell me that their "Clean White" paint is a solid color and not a Pearl and their formula for their "Competition Yellow and many others do not use a Pearl White basecoat either Like Yamahas paint sequence shows them to have. This tells me that this would not be a good supplier for proper color matching paint.

It is a great color....

A DT2 restoration DVM and I did a few years ago



Had a custom candy color mixed up



The original is on the right...



Ours turned out a bit darker....

The candy gold is sprayed over a white base coat....

Very nice! Unless you see it side by side, I think the color looks very close.
