Automotive paints

Discover car color codes

Search marques and preview OEM-style paints with paint code, HEX, RGB/CMYK, approximate year range, and compatible models on each row. Always confirm codes with your market’s dealer before body work — or browse the A–Z directory.

Popular marques

Full directory

All marques A–Z — same cards with pagination when you need the complete list.

What this directory is

Each marque page lists official-style paint names with manufacturer codes where known, screen-friendly HEX, computed RGB/CMYK, approximate year ranges, and compatible model lines — useful for Figma and CSS, not for booth mixing from HEX alone.

How to use it

  1. Pick a manufacturer from the grid or jump to all marques A–Z.
  2. On a marque page, copy HEX for digital mockups or paste into our color converter for OKLCH/HSL.
  3. For production paint, cross-check the code column with the OEM paint database for your VIN and market.

When HEX is the wrong tool

Spectral pigment, flake orientation, and clearcoat thickness change appearance under daylight vs garage LEDs. For collision repair, rely on the body shop’s spectrophotometer and approved variant books — not a website swatch.

FAQ

Why does my car look different from the HEX chip?

Automotive paints are multi-layer and viewing-angle dependent. HEX encodes a single sRGB point — useful for screens, not for predicting flake sparkle.

Are paint codes guaranteed accurate?

Labels vary by factory and region. Treat codes as starting points; verify with dealer tooling or a professional paint supplier before ordering material.

Can I use this for games or 3D?

Yes — approximate HEX is fine for vehicle shaders and livery tools. For PBR baseColor, you may still want to tweak in engine lighting. See also gaming color codes for UI-specific tables.
