I bought a Volvo s60 brochure off ebay this week in order to find out what colour my car is but the shade of blue isn't listed! I still haven't figured out how to upload photos. My car is Nov 2003 and is a light metallic blue.
So , yet another newbie question from me : Can anyone tell me the proper name for this colour? Cheers.

Thanked 887 Times in 593 PostsWhy don't you see what the colour code is on the VIN plate in the car? You can then look the code up and get the full colour name (Google will do that for you). Would be the easiest way!

Thanked 7,752 Times in 5,648 PostsOn the vin plate (n/s wing) theres 2 sets of numbers down the right hand side, the top set is the colour code. First 3 numbers then theres a dot then 2 numbers.
Mine's 189.23 - 189 is polar white, .2 is the shade and the 3 is the type of laquer used.
Hope this helps.19t, greens, 3" inlet, 3" downpipe with race cat, V70R catback, autotech map...
