I had the same color car i am sorry i sold it a few days ago so i dont have the code but with age the color fades soo much that you cannot use the color code to match the paint, I had the car done at a maaco and they did a pretty good job maching the paint

Just in case you're over looking the sticker on the doorjamb on your car, thought I'd post this so you know what it looks like. This one below is for black (not yours),


Edit just noticed on that same thread where I found the code graphic a nice color chart.. this is for the GS though, but thought I'd post it too


The Scion guys have also put together a good chart of colors that includes your year

Is the thread. It's good.
The color codes are confusing, because only the primary colors are colors that you can normally look up anywhere but a real lexus dealer. (I.E. Toyota dealers can't find most of the two-tone trim colors) For example:

The C/TR is the color of the car.
The A/TM is the alternate trim color. I.E. the second tone on the lower cladding. I.E. what is normally some shade of silver.

I think you're asking for the trim color.

Register & lexus.com I think they give both the primary car & trim colors on the VIN. I know they give the primary atleast.
