Paint Coding Information – 2016 Subaru

NUMBER: 13-98-15
DATE: 08/04/15

INTRODUCTION

Note: This is the most accurate information available at the time of printing.

Various paint manufacturers designate their own stock numbers and coding information although many of the major suppliers are now using the SOA paint codes to help eliminate possible confusion. Their color formulations are updated on a continual basis. Some vendors may have different color names than those provided to them by SOA. Be sure to double-check the codes and formulas beforehand to help insure an accurate color match.  Should discrepancies arise, please refer your Body Shop contact inquiries to the specific paint vendor or their jobber / supplier for the most updated formula information.

The paint coding information can be found on the vehicle’s VIN plate. Subaru color codes are three characters in length.

For the 2016 Model Year, Subaru of America is announcing three new colors:

• M7Y Pure Red
• M2Y Dark Blue Pearl
• M3Y Hyper Blue

Along with these new colors, an all-new Hyper Series BRZ and the Hyper Series WRX/STI are being introduced to our line-up for 2016. These models are expected to hit our Retailer’s showrooms in the near future in limited quantities. This color information covers all current and the new models.
