Default Lexus LS400 Paint Chart and Media Archive







Here is the chart of color for the US-Spec LS400 from 1990-2006. If you see an error please post it here and I will correct the page and graphic ASAP. You can upload a photo of your car by clicking on the graphic, then clicking on the appropriate camera icon next to your color.

If you need me to update the chart please post your model year (or production date), color code and a description or photo of your car. For now this is for US-Spec cars only, I will add other countries in the future.

Yeah, try to get me the color code. I have noticed that different importing regions will sometimes name identical colors different names. Sometimes a west coast Lexus is one color name while an east coast Lexus is a different color name -- but the same color code.

Not only that, but sometimes regional Toyota importers will rename a color after several years... although the paint code and formula don't change. It gets a little confusing sometimes.

I was sent a spreadsheet of color codes and official Toyota USA color names.... so sometimes the names on my list might differ from what your regional importer, but it should be the official Toyota USA color name.

3M9 indicates that your car is Rose Red/Baroque Red (differently titled by east and west coast importers). I think the LF03 is your interior color code. If you have a photo of your car you can click on the chart up top and upload your photo in the Rose Red color code line.

Hey guys, I still need images of each color uploaded to the site. Do me a favor and click on the image at the top of the thread, or just go here:
www.toyotareference.com

Just click the little camera icon next to the proper color and you can upload your car's photo.

Does anyone know if 2000 platinum Series Silver is the same as (199) silver on the standard LS?

How would I find my code?

Hey guys, I'm now including a brochure archive on my site. I plan to offer all years of Lexus LS brochures for your viewing pleasure.

Tom from Lexus of Portland graciously provided many Lexus brochures for me to scan and make available. The following years will soon be scanned for the Lexus LS: 1990, 1994-2003, 2005, 2007-2008.

I am still looking for anyone that has the years 1991-1993, 2004, and 2006. That's only five brochures still needed to complete this archive. If anyone wanted to contribute, I would be more than happy to have someone buy a brochure on eBay and send it to me. I would scan it and then mail the brochure to the buyer (if they wanted). Let me know.
