soarer 6m2 paint code is more than one colour
I have a soarer dark green 1991 with paint code 6m2. Paint shop makes up Bluish Green Metallic and Royal Jade Pearl. Royal jade is too dark. On Wiki they are claim to be the same colour but this is incorrect. Who knows what Blueish green is? I have the most common paint colour on a Soarer/Lexus. Is it just Dark Green Metalic? It is not listed. Does anyone know the mix.

You may want to check the thread below or ask this question in the SC300/400 sub-forum. There are some members there with Z30 Soarers as well.

At least for USA-spec (and Canadian?) cars the 6M2 "Royal Jade Pearl" paint code was available from 1992 through the 1996 model year. We got our LHD SC's starting in '92 whereas Soarers started in the '91 model year. The code should be the same if it was also offered your 1991 Soarer. There is also "Imperial Jade Mica" (Code 6Q7) which was available on 1998-2000 models in the US/Canada. Also "Classic Green Pearl" (Code 6P2), only available in 1997 for US/Canada models.
Even if color availability by model year differed between the US/Canadian and Japan variants of this car the color codes should still refer to the same paint mixtures for all.
Is it possible your car could have been repainted with another shade of green at some time during its life?

Thanks for reply. I found this.
6m2 covers several colours and can vary a lot. It makes no sense.

Put in 6M2 in search and you get 5 different shades

That's interesting. I also don't have a ready answer to that. May I suggest you post this in the SC300/400 Performance and Maintenance sub-forum? A few members there with much better knowledge of the paint codes used on these models may be able to better narrow down the code and actual color on your Soarer. Also, posting some example pictures of the exterior of the car will probably help.

It is entirely possible that while some simple colors (Onyx Black for instance) were shared between the 91-00 Soarer and 92-00 SC, some other colors were different for each market. The mystery of the paint code coming up with multiple inaccurate shades of green is a head scratcher. To me at least.
