Cool stuff. It will be interesting to me to read about the old Toyota and Lexus paint codes. Can’t wait to read what the names for paint colours were.

 

Interesting to see some of the 1990 Lexus paint names

I didn't Harvest Gold, which was the color of my old MG. They have it as Snapdragon Yellow, but that's going back a ways, ha ha.
