Default What color code is this?
Hey guys,

Just trying to figure out the color code of this mirror i dug up in my garage. Any LS owners with this color? Is it some sort of green color or grey?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If it's a U.S. color, Cypress Pearl color code 6T7.

Here's the LS color chart. Possibly a Flint Mica (1E0)?

I have a Flint Mica (1E0). Here are samples of how they look on photo...






Maybe someone with a Cypress Pearl can post some pictures here for you. You can also do a search online for photos - here's one... http://chicagosportscars.com/car/90667674.html

pretty hard to judge color without proper white balance on the photo or a referenced grey card under the same conditions.

Here are a couple of photos of Flint Mica taken against the front and back of a dollar bill. Can someone with a Cypress Pearl post some photos against a dollar bill for comparison?






This one is taken under a florescent light...

The mirrors are the same part # for all colors, just like all of the body parts that are painted. Bring your mirrors to any good body shop and they'll tell you the color code.

I attempted to color correct one of the OP pictures and to me it looks like Midnight Pine Pearl (6S6). The sparkles are making it look lighter in the first photo

And when you find a LS with a color match, how will you know the color code and name?
