Gold paint name or code?

[drayment]

I have a Leon from 2005, this colour:

bit.ly/Z3xQRv (Not mine - not allowed to post addresses yet!)

but in the boot sticker it says paint code LS1A (or L51A)

but that would be amarillo yellow, which is much brighter, non-metallic

Anyone know the paint colour name or code for the metallic gold?

Thanks, Dane

Amarillo is Spanish for yellow, and S1A is Amarillo Crono i.e. Crono Yellow. Not a common colour for Leons. Are you sure it isn't S1H, Amarillo OVNI = UFO Yellow?

The picture in your link looks beige on my monitor. Not yellow at all and certainly not gold.

It's not the UFO colour, it's a very light gold, almost silver

there's a few at the top (currently) of google image search if I look for beige leon -

Amazing how hard it is to find!

Well now, if it's beige then there's a strong likelyhood it's Fog Beige, S1R.

Drat, that link asks for a login.

Try this one,, click on the Colour Finder and search for LS1R.

If you click through to the formula it consists mostly of Brilliant Silver and Fine Silver with some Ochre (7%), White and Oxide Red (1%)

LS1R is the code. Done loads of them at work.
