Default removing text after a character

Hi all,

I have a list of colours in a column that look like the following examples

LIGHT BLUE/GREY
BLUE/GREY
CHERRY RED/BLACK
SILVER
LIGHT GREY

They represent vehicle exterior colours and after the "/" this is the
interior colour. As you can see some have the interior after the slash and
some don't have the interior colour but have two words for the exterior. I
need to extract the exterior colour only as the following.

LIGHT BLUE
BLUE
CHERRY RED
SILVER
LIGHT GREY

I have tried the "find" and the "substitute" formula's but can't manage to
get it right.

Please help

Thank you
