someone please tell me what colour my new car is(pictured ).

Better view.

thanx that's better!
any ideas??

This is a long shot, but find your paint code and then click at the lexus/toyo website below and see if you can find your color.


Toyota colors generally start with the prefix "C/TR" and the code will be three digits long, followed by more info.
Ex. CTR202/LA09. 202 will be the color code. Your location will always be in the drivers door jamb.

Lexus toyo colors

The 1997 US factory brochure lists the name of the color as Sunburst Pearl.

Renaissance Red

Its WAY too orange to be Renaissance red- trust me. My car is Renaissance red.

must be sunburst then? tried the paint codes thing. not sure about the code anyway- and Sunburst pearl isn't even on the website. driving me up the wall( i caught the front end reversing out of the drive yesterday and revealed white paint.not sure if it's primer or paint and I want to touch it up.)

Well, i'd have to say the best bet for you would be to go to a toyota dealer and have them get you some touch up paint. Toyota has huge books here in the states that they use to determine exact coolors for touch up paint ordering, and my guess would be its no different for the uk. Bummer about the scrape, though... I dont know about the exact name for your color in the uk, however, because ive noticed in different countries, colors are the same, but have different names. I do know that it is the same shade that we had in the states known as Sunburst Pearl, however, so you may want to try that. There is a large picture of a Celica GT liftback in the 97 us brochure in sunburst pearl- and it looks exactly the same to me. Good luck!

thanks- yeah I suspect that is the colour- I'll do that-it should sort the problem out.(oh the scrape is barely visible- it's right under the bumper, so it's not too bad!) cheers

my car is Renaissance red as well, and in some pictures, in different parts of the world, under different lighting, it can look anything from light light red, to almost a dark maroon. . but i'm not sure what colors Toyota offered in the later years, if that red was even an option. iono. just a guess.

-John-

you still havent found out what colour it is?!!
you must be gettin well annoyed!
but heh, at least it shows the colours pretty rare! think youre car would really suit some white rims, think i said i that before but seein that picture makes me wanna buy them for you!

sad to say, but your black celica's official name for the color is...black.

That's a shame.

brilliant black

dig out the 95 celica brochure like I did- it's black.
