OK guys, I'm officially adding a brochure archive to my project and I'm looking for anyone that has an ES brochure from a US dealership. As you can see from the graphic there are tons of holes in my collection and anyone that can scan and email me their brochure, or physically mail me a brochure so it can be carefully scanned and returned, will be my best friend forever.

As of now I need all ES brochures from 1990-2006.

Thanks to CL member Encore888 we now have the 1990 brochures linked. Thanks! Anyone else that might have an ES brochure and a scanner is invited to help us out.

Very cool. I posted a while ago trying to figure out my car's color and came back with "antique sage pearl" but thanks for all the work getting this put together.

I just got an email telling me that there is a new color for the 2009 ES model:
Matador Red Mica will replace Royal Ruby Metallic.

All other colors carry over from 2008.

Hey, great info here. Thanks all.

I have the ES 300 with the color code 6r6 (MINERAL GREEN OPALESCENT), but there is obviously another code on the lower quarter panels (sides) and lower portion of front and rear bumpers. What color code is this?

Thank you.

Check the production label in your driver's door jamb for your paint code. Look for the line to start with C/TR (color/trim). The first three characters after that heading should be your paint code.

If it says 6R6 then I can't really help you with the trim paint code, but if it is a different code then maybe I can look up the two-tone info.

Is your car a 2000-2001? Is it US-spec or a different country? Can you post a photo?

can I get the MRM and put in on my SC400? I really like that color.
