Colour Code? Orange/Gold seen on V70/S60 models

posted by  someone claiming to be coldbrick on  Tue Mar 21 07:31 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Hi All,

I'm looking for the colour code and name for the orange/gold colour that Volvo used in circa 99' bricks. I think it was mainly on the R types.

I'm rebuilding an old Lambretta scooter and think this colour would be a fitting one for it once it hits the body shops.

Thanks
Mike

Only the "R" came in Saffron. 1998 and 1999 I believe. I wish they would bring that color back,

Klaus is correct -- Saffron is the color. Sometimes you'll see it called Saffron Pearl, or Saffron Metallic, or Saffron Pearl Metallic -- always Saffron something. In addition to the V70 R, less than 150 Saffron C70s were brought over to the US in 1998 only. I don't know how many Saffron V70 Rs made it to this side of the pond -- and if any came over after 1998, that would be news to me.

And to answer your original question -- the Volvo color code is 435.
