Default '94 Burgundy

The 1994 factory SC400 promo photo below pictures a burgundy color (not Garnet Red). I believe this color was only offered in 93 and 94. Can anyone confirm this and tell me what the name of the color is? I think it's called Wine Red but I'm not sure. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I saw an SC400 that color with a '97+ body kit. I don't know if it was stock, but some lady was driving it.

People claim other names for the color of my car. But the actual color is: Jade Green. Yes, it is not the same as Classic green, Dark green, etc etc. Same story with the Toyota Supra. In 1997 some colors of the car were switched. For example, there was silver, and starting 1997 there was quick silver which infact is a darker. Here is a picture I found on Edmunds:

Nope, again, they don't have the right colors. They call my car's color "classic green".

Yeah, I thin classic green one of the colors for the SC, but not a 1997 I think.

Chris

PS. I went to a Lexus dealership and saw two LS430s. They both seemed black, but when you walked upto them one of them was midnight green. Wow, that is a strange color.

I think you should use the signature below, instead of the one you've been using. More true to life...

Default Color Codes

Does anyone have a list of the color codes? I am just wondering what a 93 Green would be classified as. Also wouldn't mind know what the other colors are.
