It definitely says 276 and it is on the firewall tag. Didn't think that number would be for a 2-tone code but that does make sense as it is a 55. The olive may have faded to a s***ty brown. I'll keep digging.

Any one with a "Colorado Beige". This was a 1960's color. I am repainting next week and am worried only seeing the color books.
 
Search grasshopper.


Colorado is different than Coronado... I have yet to determine what color Colorado really is. The paint books go from white to brown and all of them are labled Colorado Beige. The last I could figure, the Colorado beige is one of the two tone Fj55 colors but don't quote me on that.
 
Doing some research on my 1979 FJ55 factory color, "277". I came across the Sherwin Williams Automotive paint website which actually listed it correctly as two tone. They said 277 is 621 "rustic green" with 031 "white".

Can anyone with a rustic green FJ55 confirm that their color code is 277? I've found three different colors of blue on my rig but no green yet...ha! I'll scratch deeper and see what I can find.
 
Nebula Green 1973 FJ40

Thanks to fjbj40 I have confirmed this to be nebula green which was an original color in 1973

I asked this question about 2 years ago and still haven't heard a solid answer. Is the factory color for the top and the bezel the same? And if so is it Cygnus white for a '79?

thanks
 
I realize these pics are from 2005, but if your still cruising around, what is the color code for the 3rd cruiser at the bottom?
