Title: What Colour
Post by: catflea on 18 January 2008, 12:45

Sounds like a silly question - how can I tell what colour my golf is?

Now, I know its a blue/grey colour but I would like to know the name of the colour!  Guessing I could get the paint code from somewhere on the car or something like that but don't really know.

I think it has it on the factory sticker on the boot lip.

There should be a sticker, simmilar to the one in the boot with the paint and options codes etc.

I don't think it's Royal Metallic Blue, it looks too grey imo.

perhaps, could just be the pics.  If its a 90 spec its royal blue, if its pre-90 its helios blue.   Ah, looking at the coolant warning light, its a pre-90 (pre 90 it was in the temp gauge, post 90 it was in the middle spot on the row of LEDs) :)
