Re: Hey you beryl green guys-color match? Posted by DougM [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Hey you beryl green guys-color match?, Roger D ![]() |
I did some searching.....code 205 is malachite green, not beryl green.
1984-1986 code 159 is malachite green also(PPG mix code is 45960)
1987-1990 code 205 is malachite green(PPG mix code 46159)
1990 code 216 is beryl green(PPG mix code 46857)
1991 code 226 is also beryl green(PPG mix code 47007)
I have some color chips in front of me and there is a variance between code 159 and 205 in some mixes. The two 159 chips I have match up with one of the 205 chips, and the other 205 chip is a tad lighter. To the un-trained eye it is probably not noticeable at all if you replace the hatch. It would be more obvious if you were replacing a door and expecting it to match with the paint on the side of the car.
Just by looking at the PPG mix codes, it is clear they are different mixes, but probably not enough that you would notice.
