Suprash Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi all, I need some help clarifying the exact colour codes or names that Toyota offically know them as, as Im now just confusing myself. I know there is the standard silver and then the gun metal grey. Now I was talking with Raymanuk and he told me that he was led to believe that the gun metal grey (my colour) is actually known as quick silver, I thought this was the standard silver colour. He was calling the standard silver alpine silver (thats actually a new one on me), so help, help, help, do we know what Toyota would call this two different types of silver/grey ??

Jake Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hi Ash You car is definitely Gunmetal. It's not the common light silver colour you see on the older models and it's not that oily slightly greenish grey we call QuickSilver http://img309.imageshack.us/img309/4895/0017gh.th.jpg http://img309.imageshack.us/img309/3803/0025sk.th.jpg http://img309.imageshack.us/img309/9467/0034cz.th.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 The red was not the right red, it was just to show an idea for the FAQ which got shot down in flames. All the colours and descriptions are right out of the EPC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
