but shenandoah green is my car color and it looks very different.

Could be that his car has faded a bit differently. His green looks more like the driver's door on my old 145E, which happened to be a door from a '76 244 that was in #123. Also, #110 Cypress Green wasn't available past 1976. Wasn't until 1980, when Volvo introduced a similar color, #142 Vernon Green.

#417 midnight blue

Hi guys,

new here and having trouble finding a paint code,i have a 1999 v70 and the vin plate says 604-26 which would appear to be midnight blue according to volvo,but it isnt that colour as i have had two paint cans mixed and they were both the same and the wrong blue,604 doesnt come out as pearlescent or metallic,mine appears to be the same colour as the above 417 which according to volvo isnt actually midnight blue but nautic blue,any help would be good,were their discrepancies in paint codes etc ??

defo not a respray either.

that is my old 850, it was 417 "nautic blue" midnight blue was a special paint only offered on v70 GLT's it looks just like nautic blue, but lacks the pearl or metalic look

I would be happy to oblige except this car went back across the pond to Norway two years ago. The guy was supposed to email pics of whatever he did to it, but I never heard from him again.

John242Ti · Mar 18, 2014

A little bit more of #123 with some #110 and #142 mixed in...

Tailgate was from an '81, and front doors were from a '76 244DL. The blue car behind the 145 was severely faded #134. Was an '80 264GL.
