Find Your Hyundai Color and Hyundai Paint Code
Hyundai color codes are relatively easy to find as they are normally on the drivers door
jamb. Some Hyundai models do manage to hide their color codes in the
engine compartment so if it is not on the drivers door jamb, you have your
work cut out for you.
Example Hyundai Color Code: The following image is what a Hyundai color ID tag typically looks like.
In the example above, the color code is &S3&.
Hyundai color code format
Hyundai color codes usually contain both numbers and letters and are two digits long. They will look something like 3E.
The color code 3E corresponds to:
Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat
Recent Hyundais Using Three Character Color Codes
Some later Hyundais use a three character code composed of letters and numbers. A sample Hyundai color ID plate would look like the picture shown below. Notice
the Paint Code is S3. This is actually the same as S3B so even Hyundai can
make it a bit confusing sometimes.
Same Color Code, Different Name
Hyundai, like all manufacturers, uses the exact same color across many
models and then will have a different color name for each model. It's the
same paint! This is why the color code is so important to order
the correct paint.
For example, 3E, above we call Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat. It could also be called Blue Clearcoat, Ocean Blue
& Clearcoat, etc. depending on what
the marketing department decided to call it.
