Paint colour codes

[Ian210]

Does anybody have a list of A2 colour codes with the paint names. In my hunt to buy my first A2, I am talking to dealers around the country. They advertise as silver when it is pale blue, or just blue so I ask which blue, as their are 5 that I know of. They can't tell me, so they should be able to read (maybe) the colour code off the vehicle label in the handbook. Then I can check the colour. As we know, colours vary tremendously with digital photos.
Ho hum.

A site the O/H uses for her TT lot shows the colour of these (albeit on a TT)

Force google to translate from the french and it's pretty accurate. The colour codes are there though.

I can’t see ly1s paint code above was this a special order colour for our new a2 ....as this colour I’ve never seen on the on the road yes I’ve seen the odd one for sale ..but rarely ..it wouldn’t be my first choice it was the 32k milage that sold it to us ..
Also what is it called as googled it says cosmic yellow ???

Cosmic Yellow is indeed what it is called.

 

[greywolfhound]

Thanks Steve ..Really I wonder how that came about ..was it standard colour option .

 

[Kleynie]

Atlantic blue is the same as Azur blue as far as I'm aware.

 

[Tomscar]

... and if you are having LY7W Silver matched anywhere, make sure you specify Audi ... Volkswagen uses the same colour and it's mix is slightly too blue

 

[Darpod14]

Is there only 1 metallic black? Thanks

 

[FinallyFiona]

Yes, LZ9W Ebony pearl. The only other black is LY9B Brilliant black but that's a solid colour.

Thank you!

I saw an A2 in a colour I'd never seen before this morning whilst walking to work. It looked like a sort of dark sage metallic and I wondered if it was LZ6E.
It was a lovely colour and must be quite rare

 

[FinallyFiona]

I think that shade must be about the rarest, I've never even seen a picture of one in LZ6E. Do take a shot if you should see it again T
