Cool Color Chart for 1st & 2nd Generations?

Just wondering if anyone knows of an online source where I might be able to look up all the available color options for each year of the 1st & 2nd generation LS400's?

Are you sure that's the OEM color?
What's your paint code #?
It has to go by a different name. Not sure where or how you came up with that name.
Lexus Canada has a few different names for the exact same color in the US and other regions.

Thanks for the insight Flipside ,that is a really nice listing plus i love the cars listing pics.

Mean i am not sure why i am reading your post as though i am making this up ? Correct me if i am wrong .

I obtained the name from the receipt from my touch up paint bought at the Lexus dealership.
It is as OEM as the car is from Japan and came in a boat.
Paint code is 6P7, ppg paint code 5532 Toyota part # 00258 -006p7 . With its unnamed matched lower cladding code of UCAA9 Toyota part# 00258-ucaa9 . So i would love to hear your response as to why you think i made this whole thing up especially about a colour of all things?

ryan was right, its a naming inconsistency between Lexus USA and Lexus Canada.

Jade Metallic Green (6P7) in Canada is equivalent to Light Green Opal (6P7) in the USA.

One added note it was called the same name in the states also . Look at the link a few posts above on cureline and look for 97 and it shows it there also. It is no where on the 98 sheet.

I agree with you on that color. That's the color I would like to repaint my 90 LS in. Also, the standard Lexus two-tone paint scheme goes nicely with this particular color.... at least a lot better than the other colors. My car is Ebony Teal I believe. Anyway, I guess I'll stay with the factory color since changing it involves a lot of dismantling of body parts to match everything up. I'm just not willing to go that far.
