I need you to check your production label in the door jamb and tell me what your paint code is. Look on the label for "C/TR" or "Color/Trim" and the first three characters after that will be the paint code. I show that it is 183, but I'm running into a problem with some other Toyota cars that share that same color... and I have a mistake somewhere. Thanks!

the paint code 183 is used on several diffrent toyota/lexus cars, under a couple diffrent names.
here is a copy/paste from the sherwin-automotive paint site, (its what we use at work) with a listing of the cars that use it and the diffrent names it goes by.
however, there are 2 diffrent alternates for the color, but its still the same color basicly, just a slight variation.

USAGE
MFG Exterior Code Accent Code Color Name Model Year
Lexus 183 Blue Slate Met 1994-1997
Lexus 183 Dk Bluish Gray Met 1995
Lexus 183 183 Blue Slate Met 1997
Toyota 183 Med Gray Met 1991-1993
Toyota 183 Med Gray Met 1991-1994
Toyota 183 Blue Slate Met 1996-1997
Toyota Trk 183 Med Gray Met 1991-1995
used on : lexus GS300, celica, corolla, cressida, and landcruiser.

hope that helps.
