Car Forum / Saab Cars / July 2006Help me create a Saab paint guide
Hey all, I am creating a Saab paint guide, and I have most of the Saab color code, paint chips and names for the last 15 or so years. I need some information that maybe someone out there can help me with. I need the color chips for the following colors: 204 Edwardian Grey 216 Beryl Green 219 Talladega Red I need the paint codes and color chips for the following colors: Colorado Red Malachite green If any one has the original sales brochures with the color charts in them, could they scan and e-mail them to me? Or if you have the RGB hex code that will display the colors, that woul be even better. Thanks, Jeremy  SignatureVisit my Saab & me at: http://jerem43.home.att.net Jeremy, If you can create one as comprehensive as my www.saabvideos.com site, that'd be sweet!!! I can help if you need it SG > Hey all, > I am creating a Saab paint guide, and I have most of the Saab color code, [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Jeremy >Hey all, >I am creating a Saab paint guide, and I have most of the Saab color code, >paint chips and names for the last 15 or so years.

If you are very lucky you can find paint manufacturer colour chip charts specifically for Saab's. I've got a few Dulux ones for classic 900's dating from about 1981 to 1986 but some of them don't include all the colour options for the particular build year. Not quite sure why, but they make a good reference for me to use when I get asked to see if a colour is original or not. Regards, Craig.

Any idea of a domain address? www.saabpaint.com? or something??? I think it is soo cool that Craig is a big Saab Enthusiast in Australia and Steven is as well in New Zealand and both have great Saab sites on the internet!

You input the make and year and it will list the colors used in that model year. They also provide the codes, however they start at 1994. Some colors for the C900, such as Edwardian Gray and Slate Blue, have been retired. Saab also apparently retired several classic colors between '94 to '05 while introducing new ones. For example, Saab has several shades of red in four different paint types, and it is the same for about every color except black (color code #170 by the way). They even have two different shades of white.

Well that's up to Steve to decide on - I'm sure if he's approached with a reasonable idea he'll consider it. If there was a definite need to have a Saab-specific paint website then a special domain would be a good idea, but I don't really see the need for a site just doing paint codes, etc. for Saab's as places like paintscratch.com and others already handle all the paint codes used by Saab's and many other makes of European car. A simple guide page though would be good. Maybe even something like a spreadsheet-type table layout with one page for each Saab car group. >I think it is soo cool that Craig is a big Saab Enthusiast in Australia and >Steven is as well in New Zealand and both have great Saab sites on the >internet! Thanks for the compliment. Just trying to help out where I can and offer a perspective that's Australian-focused which anyone else is more than welcome to contribute to. No commercial aspirations whatsoever in my Saab websites. Craig.

Any othe paint colors that you can come up would be helpful!

Just found this ... <http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/search/searchpic.pl?1992-saab-pg01.jpg> Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/ Cool, thanks Paul, I actually hit another site with basically much of the same info. This will hep me complete the numbering. Here is what I was able to put together: http://jerem43.home.att.net/pages/paints.pdf It is best viewed on a better quality tube monitor, and printed on a quality color laser printer that can do Pantone rated color reproduction.
