These are the factory colour names and the code for each. The names are the ones owners use, and a few colours have two names. Some colours were sold only on certain models: Brilliant Yellow is noted as a Turbo colour. For how many cars were painted each colour (as of December 2003), see production numbers.

Things to know
- The list came to us without a source. Treat it as a guide, and check the code against your car (or against the colour shown on its register page) before you order paint.
- The two "Yellow" entries are listed as Yellow 1 and Yellow 2, and we don't know their marketing names. Lightning Yellow, the 2002 limited edition, isn't in the list. See the development story for what is known about it.
- Black Sapphire isn't in the December 2003 colour count, so it may be a later colour. We don't know.
Help wanted
We don't know where the colour code is printed on the car or in the paperwork. If you have found yours, please tell us where.
