Hey guys!
After years of being a wannabe, I finally found my Celica. It's a 1994 6G ST, pretty much unmolested. I'm glad I found this site, because I'll probably have lots of questions. And you all seem very nice  I'd like to know how to describe the color (don't trust my eyes), and I'd like to know the factory name for this original color. It's sorta blue-green or teal or aqua. I've been searching this website, and it looks like Doodiehead's car color. All input appreciated. Love Pinky |

Hey,
If its the same color as mine, its called turquoise i think. Thats what my dealer called it when I was ordering touch up paint. There is also a sea-foam green or some color like that, but it sounds like you've got the turquoise. Call it whatcha will though. Sometimes I call mine blue, somtimes green, and if I'm feeling imaginative, something like blue-green. Anyways. Its paint # 746, touch up paint is P/N 00258-00746 from your toyota dealer. Good luck with the celi! Get some pics posted. Oh, and if it turns out that it is the same color, you and I have the same car (Hatchback, GT, manual, 94, turquoise). Rock on!!!! --------------------  psalm 69 |

That color is the sea-foam blue like someone said earlier. It's pretty tight for a factory color. You don't see a lot of cars driving around with it.

WTF club! I like that. I searched the forums (like a good newbie) for everything but that! Well I guess I’m now an official member of the WTF club! LOL I didn’t realize that color identification was an ongoing problem.  I figured there were links or resouces, like a factory color option chart by year and model or something. You know, interior and exterior options by year. Damn! Yeah, I like the sound of seafoam green (or blue?). I can’t post a pic yet, but look at Doodies and that is it! Powells looks more blue-gray and Scoobies looks too blue. But like I said, I don’t trust my eyes. Oh yes I am female. I was going to use the  smilie, but I didn’t want to be too rude (yet) hee-heeThanks for all the responses ... Love Pinky |

Scoobie's right! My car is Turquoise!!!! On the door is a sticker with the model number and other codes, including the color/trim code (C/TR). Mine is 746/FF20, which is Turquoise paint with black-gray fabric interior. Soooo, if anyone wants to tell me their year/make and color code off that sticker, I can get the official name and accumulate that info for the list. I really want Powells' and Doodie's codes - come on boys, share with me!  LOLOh, Scoobie, our cars are close, but mine's only an ST. Love Pinky |

Hey Pinky,
Visit your local dealership and they can read some number off your drivers side door. there is a code they can write down and look it up...should only take 5 minutes to figure out exactly what your color is and you can save that code and give it to your paint and body shop to match the color if you ever need it it get it painted.

Thanks Octacon. Maybe we posted about the same time, because that's what I had just posted!
Okay, so if anyone else wants to post their code found on their door sticker as I described above, I will make a chart of the color options and get it on the website. Love Pinky |
