Default name these colors

Alright, so iv decided that i want to paint my car.
either im going to get the Origin kit.. (yes i know the fitment is horrible, and yes i know it doesn't have fogs.. but i don't have fogs right now so im cool with that) or the 97+ front with a lip kit. - haven't decided on which yet. but either way im going to get it painted. iv narrowed it down to these four colors.. but i dont know the paint codes for them.

1. Black Onyx (202)


2. ?


3. ?


4. ?



also be sure to vote for your favorite color! (1-4)

any help with naming the colors and getting the code would be awesome!
-btw all the pics came from the "Ultimate SC/Soarer Picture Thread"

this is my car right now.. and i have a fmic on the way

I like 2, that color is very unique, I think majority will vote black, but there's too many blacks around.

matte black is sexy! hard to maintain tho without the clear coat protecting the paint.

yeahh.. i figured since im not going to pay $40 for base paint + $20 clear + $10 bucks to ship, that i might as well just paint it black, but DEFINITELY not gloss. i think it would look more oem-ish this way. hopefully.. idk, the white just STUCK out.. specially the pearl in it haha

#2 looks like VW Platinum Gray
#4 looks like Audi Dolphin Gray Metallic

I can't see #3, probably blocked at work.

Just the closest thing that comes to mind.

not too shabby...or find a color on lambos or a veyron and paint it that.


Really though...the champange tan color isnt that bad. But if your gonna spend money to get a color change, go with something dramatic, not even a lexus color. Go with ferrari, lambo, or something magnificent.. hah
