Determine color code online - find out car paint color
You can find out the paint color of a car in various ways. If you find it difficult to find the paint code or body number, you can get more detailed explanations on the page Where is the paint code on the car body?
But if you couldn’t choose the car paint by color on your own, then the consultants of the Autocolor7 car paint store will always come to the rescue.
When performing local repairs to a car's paintwork after an accident or due to other mechanical impacts that may lead to rust in the future, it is often necessary to accurately guess the color of the factory paint that was applied to your car. This is done in order to avoid visual differences between the treated area and the rest of the body surface. At the factory, when applying paint and varnish, the enamel is assigned a number, which is the car's paint code. This number indicates the weight ratio of pigments that are added to obtain the desired tone.
For marketing sales, intricate names for car body colors are often used, and when you need to determine the really desired tone for local repairs, you need to rely on the car’s paint code. After all, for the same car model, depending on the year of manufacture, this number may differ and you need to clearly find out specifically for your car.
Technology for selecting car paint color by VIN code
The VIN code is a 17 character value. These symbols indicate information about the configuration and technical storage of the car. It is worth noting that you will not be able to directly find out the car’s paint code using the VIN code, since it does not give you such information. Here the approach is a little different. You will be able to accurately find out the model, year of manufacture and equipment of the vehicle. Having this data in hand, you can use the manufacturer’s catalog or on specialized websites to determine a list of all the paint codes that were used for this model in those years of manufacture. But there is a problem here too, if, for example, you have a yellow car, then the probability of finding the exact code is high, but if the car is gray, then there are often many variations and you will not be able to find out exactly what color of paint. In this case, you need to go to a colorist at a service station and use a computer selection to determine the desired tone.
How to find out a car's paint code?
The search in foreign cars should start from the door pillars; a plate with this data is very often placed there. In addition, depending on the model and brand of the car, it may be under the hood. Also another place to look is the trunk. Information about the color of the enamel is usually placed on one plate with the VIN code. Sometimes the keywords “COLOR” or “PAINT” are indicated next to the number so that it is clear what this designation is.
Where can I find this number in domestic cars? In most cases, under the hood or in the luggage compartment area or in the service book, but this is provided that the car is not older than 5 - 7 years. If the car is older, it is better to contact a specialist to select the paint.
Having rewritten this number, you can contact a colorist who can mix the tones in the right proportion and get what you need. Please note that if the car is stored outside for 5 - 10 years, then there is a high probability of the body color fading and the paint code will no longer match, it will be brighter, in this case you need to make a computer selection.
Here is a table of commonly used codes for various colors.

Kirill: I have been looking for a Granta model with an Angkor tint for a long time, since it does not show small chips, scratches, or damage to the paintwork. No matter how well you drive, a chip is a matter of chance.
Conclusion
Leaders in the rating: “White Cloud” and “Riesling”. It is these shades that are considered safe, with the lowest accident rate on the road.
The tone of Granta Liftback “Black Pearl” is outdated and excluded from the general list. Although at the beginning of 2015 it was quite popular. Pre-orders in showrooms were six months in advance.
The shade "Magma" Grants Liftback is often confused with "Coriander", as they have a strong similarity, especially at a distance. The list did not include the Platinum color of Grant's Liftback, as it went out of fashion.
Just before the start of the Moscow Motor Show 2018, AvtoVAZ revealed all the information about the restyled Lada Granta 2018-2019 family. It is represented by models in four body types: sedan, liftback, hatchback and station wagon. At the same time, the last two versions are restyled Lada Kalina - Tolyatti residents decided to abandon this brand and, after modernization, included the cars in the Granta line.
Sales of the updated Grant will start on August 30, at which time full price lists with detailed prices and configurations will be published. However, the base cost of the models has already been named: the cheapest will be the sedan with a price starting from 419,900 rubles, followed by the hatchback and liftback - from 436,900 rubles, and finally, for the station wagon you will have to pay no less than 446,900 rubles. Later, the family will be replenished with the elevated Lada Granta Cross station wagon (a new version of the previous Kalina Cross) and sports modifications of the Granta Sport in sedan and hatchback bodies. In the long term, it is possible that a “warmed-up” liftback with the Sport prefix will enter the market, but so far AvtoVAZ is silent on this matter.
Paintwork quality
How to change the fuel pump on a Lada Granta: photos and videos
What does a buyer look for when purchasing a car? First he inspects the body, and only after that he gets into the cabin or looks under the hood to look at the engine
And when inspecting the body, it is very important to determine the quality of the paintwork. Do not forget that Renault Arcana is the first model from Renault, which is intended for Russian roads
This means that serious attention was paid to the paintwork of the body
It is necessary to note one more unpleasant fact: in the past there were many complaints about the quality of the paintwork of cars produced by the Renault concern. For example, this applied to the Renault Captur and Renault Duster models. Taking all this into account, the quality of the paint and varnish coating of Renault Arcana has been improved. Drivers should not worry about this too much, since the body is made of galvanized sheet steel. So scratches on the paintwork shouldn't cause much harm.
New X-face
All representatives of the new Lada Granta line received a unified front design in the style of Vesta and X-ray. In addition to the modernized bumper, radiator grille and headlights, the nose of the Grant acquired a slightly adjusted hood and different shaped wings. At the same time, some other improvements were made - the washer nozzles moved from the surface of the hood to the panel in front of the windshield, and new soft fender liners appeared in the wheel arches, which better absorb the impacts of gravel flying out from under the wheels and also do not absorb moisture.

Side view
The stern was more or less seriously transformed only on the Grant sedan. The trunk lid has undergone a thorough alteration here, receiving an accentuated spoiler-stamping and a recess for the license plate (previously the area for the state sign was located on the bumper). Versions in other body types have remained virtually unchanged at the rear, if you do not take into account the adjusted bumper, complemented by a black insert.

Among other things, the restyled Lada Granta will boast new 15-inch alloy wheels and an expanded color palette, which includes two previously unavailable shades - Carnelian (red) and Techno (gray-brown).
Station wagon
Exterior
First of all, the planned restyling affected the update of the appearance. The modernized Lada Granta series of 2021 differs from models of previous years in the bright and expressive design of the front end; the design of the sidewalls and rear part is copied from its predecessor without significant changes.
In the photo from a frontal angle, the VAZ subcompact attracts attention:
- a small difference in the angles of inclination of the windshield and the short hood decorated with longitudinal profiles;
- the X-shaped configuration of the radiator lining, characteristic of the latest models, structurally combined with the lower ventilation air intake;
- wedge-shaped format of halogen base or xenon top front optics.
The front end layout is completed by a narrow body kit. The functions of the external decor are assigned to the chrome plating of the corporate symbols and C-shaped overlays, as well as to the harmonious combination of wave and stepped relief elements.
The Lada Granta (sedan) 2022 looks less impressive in profile projection. In the area of attention: a new body with a silhouette typical for three-volume cars, black plastic trim on the side windows, standard mirrors, chrome door handles partially recessed into the body. The set of longitudinal body reliefs, ribbed contours of the wheel arches and the spoked design of silver wheels do not evoke any special emotions.
The new sedan looks more stylish and presentable from the rear. In stock:
- the luggage compartment lid is complemented by a decorative spoiler lip, branding and a platform for attaching a registration plate;
- massive angular blocks of multifunctional lights;
- transverse stepped bumper profile and compact plastic body kit.
The positive visual perception of the new Grant is formed by the combination of compact external dimensions and muscular body contours.
Innovations in the interior
The interior of any Grant now has a front panel from Kalina with revised decor of individual elements. Thus, the central rectangular deflectors have an X-shaped design, and the round side deflectors have a chrome edging. Other metamorphoses include changed button backlighting (from green to white), updated dashboard design (the scales now have orange rims, like Vesta’s), and a different pattern of decorative overlays on the panel.

The list of improvements does not end there. All variations of the 2018-2019 Lada Granta have seats with new upholstery and more developed lateral support bolsters. Also, the driver’s seat, albeit only in rich trim levels, is now equipped with a height adjustment mechanism that allows you to raise and lower the seat by 40 mm. The head restraints on the Grant seats have become larger and more comfortable.
Registration of repainting
Lada Granta silver dark gray Borneo
As you know, complete or partial repainting of a car must be officially registered. In the first case, this is quite easy to do, but in the second, it is difficult.
These days, almost every motorist who drives a used car is faced with the desire to upgrade it. The ideal option is to sell the old model and get a new one, but this does not always work out for various reasons. Just in this particular case, you can update the “image” of your car by repainting the body or its individual, tarnished areas.
As mentioned above, often owners simply recognize the factory color of the car and then paint certain areas. Everything is fine, you don’t need to do anything. However, there is one caveat: over time, the paint fades in the sun, and then you have to either paint the entire car a new color (the same), or change the shade with the help of a colorist.
Whatever you say, you have to take the law into account. And new rules, introduced for no apparent reason, only spoil the whole picture. If earlier it was clearly stated what can be done and what cannot be done, today there is a kind of bureaucratic chaos. One thing is certain: it is easier to obtain documents for a completely repainted car than for a partially repainted one.
We can only hope that the kinks in the charter will be corrected soon. For owners who intended to repaint the car, it is better to update the old color using the recommendations for selecting the exact color given above.
- Absolutely legal (Article 12.2);
- Hides from photo and video recording;
- Suitable for all cars;
- Works through the cigarette lighter connector;
- Does not cause interference to radios and cell phones.
The catalog contains car colors of Russian and foreign car manufacturers. Basically, these colors refer to Mobihel and Duxone paints, the car enamels and coatings of which correspond to the popular colors of Lada VAZ and GAZ cars. But despite the fact that the paint codes given in the table correspond to domestic cars, these same colors are also used in the foreign automobile industry, they just have a different coding.
Please note that colors on a computer screen cannot convey all shades of car enamels, especially metallics, which “play” in the light and shimmer. Flower images shown are for reference only.
You can roughly select a color, but only catalogs (fans of colors) can give you a real idea of car colors; they can be found in car paint stores or from colorists.
Automotive paints (auto enamels) are divided into two main groups: metallic and non-metallic. They differ in that the first has a pearlescent tint, while the second does not.

Technical characteristics of Lada Granta restyling 2018-2019
The update did not affect the Granta engine range. The model's arsenal includes the same petrol units:
- Eight-valve 1.6 liter (87 hp, 140 Nm);
- Sixteen-valve engine 1.6 liters (98 hp, 145 Nm);
- 1.6 liter engine with output of 106 hp. and 148 hp
The “junior” unit comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, the middle one is equipped with a 4-speed Jatco “automatic”, the “senior” one works in conjunction with either a manual transmission or an AMT robotic gearbox.
If the engines have remained virtually unchanged structurally (the only innovation is a groove on the pistons to minimize damage if the timing belt breaks), then the Tolyatti engineers have done a fair amount of work on the transmission. The first innovation concerns cars with manual transmission and AMT - their main gear ratio has increased from 3.7 to 3.9. This has affected the dynamic characteristics: four-door cars with an 87-horsepower engine now accelerate to 100 km/h in 11.6 seconds (previously 12.2 seconds), sedans with a 106-horsepower unit and a manual transmission in 10.5 seconds (previously 10.9 seconds).
“Robot” AMT received its share of improvements. Now he has a “creeping” mode, which allows the car to move off when the brake pedal is released. The manual transmission is also equipped with “Winter” (start from second gear on snowy roads) and “Sport” (faster gear changes) modes. The clutch of the robotic transmission has become more resistant to wear, and the box itself is now much quieter.
To top it all off, in order to improve handling, the new Granta was given shock absorbers and electric power steering with different settings.
If at the start of its production, the Lada Granta model could boast of only a few popular colors, then in recent years AvtoVAZ has stepped forward in this matter. For example, Lada Granta color Coriander (code 790) is quite popular among people. In common parlance it is brown or golden brown.
How to determine the color of your car model
Soundproofing the Lada Granta with your own hands: video and photos available!
Determining exactly what color a car is painted is usually necessary for one reason. If the paint has come off on a certain area of the body, you need to paint over the area, but in such a way that it doesn’t differ.
It’s easy to find out the color of your VAZ model. It will be enough to look at the trunk lid if it is a sedan or find it in the glove compartment or spare wheel well if it is a hatchback. In some cases, the code is indicated under the brake light on the spoiler.
Experienced drivers recommend: if you find a piece of paper on the body, be sure to write down the number and name of the paintwork somewhere, as it is easy to lose the piece of paper or forget its location. After all, it can be erased over time. It is clear that it is much more difficult to find the code on used Vases.
Form 3347
In many cases, the body color is also specified in the warranty card for the car.
If you still cannot find the color code of the VAZ model, it is recommended to contact the dealer who sold the car or the previous owner.
There are a couple more methods suitable for those who purchased a car from some Valera, but he either does not know the code or does not get in touch himself.
Here's what to do:
- Use the Lada painting plan used at the factory. This is easy to do if you know the exact release date of the model. But this technique has one drawback: the car must be no older than 2005;
- Contact a professional colorist. It is enough to show a specialist the gas tank flap so that he can accurately determine the color. And that’s not all: the colorist’s services also include the production of exactly the same paint using special equipment, in the volume required by the owner.
