India's most popular color game
Whether you need to know the color for repairs, touch-ups, or simply out of curiosity, identifying the exact color of your car is straightforward.
Your car's VIN is a unique code that contains information about your vehicle, including its color. You can find the VIN on the dashboard on the driver's side (viewable through the windshield), on your vehicle's title, or on your insurance card.

To find the color code from the VIN, use an online VIN decoder or contact your dealership with the VIN to get the specific color name and code.
Most cars have a sticker or plate that explicitly mentions the color code. Common places to look for these stickers include the door jamb, under the hood, in the trunk, or around the spare tire. The sticker features a label like “C/TR” followed by a color code.
Once you locate the sticker, note down the code and search online or consult your dealership to match the code with the color name.
If you cannot find the color code or need a precise match for paint repairs, consider using a color matching tool. Many auto parts stores and repair shops have tools that can precisely identify the paint color using a small scanner.
These tools compare your car’s actual color to manufacturer’s specs and provide a precise match. This method is especially useful for older cars where the original color may have faded.
