All Cabriolet paint colors and their L-codes are listed here. Not all colors were available in all countries. Colors may not be 100% accurate due to variations in computer monitor settings. Tap on the sample cars to see more details of each color.
Non-metallic paints are single-stage from the factory. Metallic and pearl paints are two-stage, i.e. clear-coated.
The colors are broken down based on the third digit in their codes: 1 = Yellow, 2 = (other), 3 = Red, 4 = Violet, 5 = Blue, 6 = Green, 7 = Gray & Silver, 8 = Brown, 9 = Black, 0 = White.
Therefore, a color that appears blue or has blue in the name, for example, may be listed with the greens. Those codes with two numbers are carry-overs from decades prior to the '80s; the code breakdown does not apply to them.
Paint code can be found on the build sheet sticker in the trunk, provided your Cabriolet still has the sticker stuck to the crossbar.
