Default Color Code Question

What is the paint code of the car on the link below

http://www.lexusclub.co.uk/home.htm


I am getting mine done later in the year and want it that exact color. It looks like Supra Quicksilver, but not quite.


Cheers


Syed

My guess is golden pearl if its stock. But it wont look like that picture. Looks like some editiong/coloring/shading was done to the pic. You should really base your decision on how a paint color looks in natural light, not a photo.

Default Paint Code

Syed Shah, From the picture/year of the Sc 99-00, it looks like this color Angora Beige Metallic (4P9). This is just my opinion, but like mkorsu said you real can't determine the true color from a picture.

Looks like it.

Here are pics of the color. (Hope the owner doesn't mind, but let me know if you do and I'll remove them.)

Bump for Rose Quartz pics - any car will do. I can't seem to find any pics of it at all.

Default I was shocked to learn the color of my car

I bought this car and was told it was white. Of course I thought it was Diamond White Pearl. I was shocked to find out that the color code is 057 Golden Pearl. It sure does look white. I can not find any indication that the car has been repainted and the paint is definitely a pearl, not metallic.

^^Sorry, but that is not Golden Pearl. The car must have been repainted or the sticker switched.

i think it all depends how the light hits it. Sometimes looks white and sometimes a very light tan color.
