Car Forum / Saab Cars / August 2005Official name for red 91' 900
Does anybody know what the offical name is for the red paint on my 91' 900. I am aware that it may simply be "red", but I'm guessing that Saab would come up with some wonderfully crafty surname.(I'm trying to settle a bet here.) Thanks.

I had an Admiral Blue 900. The white was Cirrus White. Brown was Dolomite Sand. I wish I still had that car :-( >> Does anybody know what the offical name is for the red paint on my >> 91' 900.

There are three base reds for the 1991 build year: - # 213 Rhodon Red (darkest) - # 214 Cherry Red - # 219 Talladega Red (lightest) I sourced the data from the www.paintscratch.com website if you would like a reference. You select the build year, make, then model (if applicable) and get a list of known paint codes for the build year. Just pick the one you need and you can then head off to an auto paint supplier and get some made up! Craig.

Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/ Talladega red... or was that 1992? Cherry Red II is my vote... I have a red 1990 900 S and a red 1992 900 S. The colour of the 92 is noticeably brighter, similar to GM's Laser Red but not so bright. I believe this is Talladega Red, so named after the racetrack in the US where Saab did a few laps around in '86 and '96 (and 2006 hopefully?). The car has a red hood off the same colour as my '90 and it is definately darker. Believe this colour to be Cherry Red II. There is a very easy way to find out the exact colour though, open your dope compartment in the trunk, on the crossbar there is a sticker, with the paint code "body" - look that up and you'll find the correct colour. My M90 900 turbo is 204 - Edwardian Grey. I have the software to look that up but... |
