Catalog availability varies by vehicle. A model palette shows available options; it does not identify the color installed on a specific car.

Go from the model to your car

Which color did your car come with?

Look up a VIN to check recorded exterior and interior colors, plus upholstery details where available. A license plate can help find the VIN.

  • Exterior color
  • Interior color
  • Fabric & upholstery

Available details vary by vehicle and source. A model palette alone does not confirm the paint fitted to a particular car.

Opens the vehicle details. Optional paid reports are offered separately.

Before you order paint

Match the code on the car.

A screen swatch is a reference. Confirm the label, finish and any roof or accent color with your paint supplier.

Common places to start are the door jamb, an under-hood plate or a vehicle data sticker. Locations vary by model and year; check the owner documentation if the label is missing.
