Default What is the Color scheme on my 1997 Lexus ES300

Can someone tell me what color is on the bottom(bumper area/lower half) of my 97 Lexus ES300? I believe the top half of the car is what they call cashmere metallic(I call it gold). I am looking for a replacement rear bumper and want to get the same color if possible.

There should be a sticker on the edge of the driver's side door that has both color codes, body and trim

Also the bumper cover is painted both colors, the top of it is body color, so any one you find that will work will have the gold color of your body, and hence the correct lower color.

I also think its worth noting if you cant find the sticker with the colour codes, theres a metal plate in the engine bay with the same information on it, Mine didnt seem to have a sticker.

EDIT: Check here also, i noticed lexus2000's link wasnt the easiest to understand if you dont know your paintcode

You can get a touch-up pen at a Lexus dealer and they will tell you the exact paint code/name. Also look here.

I do see this sticker but it's very confusing to me. Couldn't figure out were the color information was.
