Maybe it's faded...I dunno.
The colour you're talking about sounds like TZABOY's old car...PM him he may know the code.

I used to drive a TS 1996 Magna (still got it atm) have had it from brand new.. I still have the paint combination colour chart of the TS-TR KR-KS series that come with the car.. I scanned it, hope you can see it, I apologise if you can't. P.M me and I will email you it. There IS a colour LE, its called Seamist Blue, and is a Metallic paint.

Very hard to read, but that cant be the complete colour scheme? Maybe just for TS? Cuz my TR colour isn't on there.

i had a look at that chart, mines the EXECUTIVE, not the SE
so now i am real confused, although it doesn't matter, cause i picked the paint up this arvo and its matched to within 95% and it looks pretty much identical,
so we will see tommorow when it all gets painted...EEK!!

i'll try blow my original up more. Mine has an LE on it, Seamist Blue. It's the factory paint combination chart, don't think it would be wrong. I noticed your's doesn't have some of the other colours on it. Is there another page?

ONE thing you guys are FORGETTING.....................
Colour charts are ONLY AN INDICATION OF COLOUR, the inks used in PRINTING on paper etc are NOT the same as the PIGMENTS used in PAINT colouring.
You can get a colour chart from a paint supplier and it WONT be the same as the actual paint.
IF the vehicle has been in the weather often, then it will have FADED.

Ooh and did you know that 99% of insurance companys only allow 30 minutes for MIX MATCH AND BLEND ( mix the colour, match the colour to the car if its faded etc, and blend the colour to match it.)
