Default Help on determining color

Hey, I just signed up today but have been lurking around for a while now. I'm in the process of selling my car and have found a 98 GS400. I fell in love with it after a test drive. The paint looks to be in perfect condition.

Anyway, I'm having a hard time finding out what color this paint actually is. I went through the FAQ and looked at all the links with the different color GS's and couldn't find anything similar. I think the car I'm looking at has been repainted, not too sure though.

Here are some pics

I'm sure it is but I didn't get a chance to look. I was to distracted by the beauty of it and how awesome it drove.

Desert Sand Mica is 4Q2. You can look on the sticker in the drivers door jamb to verify, but according to my sources it was not offered on the 2GS.
