Where to find your Citroën paint colour code

Where to look on your Citroën
- Door jamb. Check the driver's door frame, the door pillar and the edge of the door itself.
- Under the bonnet. On older models the label is near the top of a suspension turret.
- Fuse box cover. On some models, like the Xsara Picasso, it's on the back of the fuse box cover.
What the code looks like
Citroën codes are usually three or four capital letters, such as KWE (Pearl White) or KZB (Graphito Grey). They're often near the bottom of the white label, sometimes on a pinkish background.

Can't find the paint label?
- Call your local Citroën dealership, ask for the Parts department, and give them your registration or VIN. They can look up the factory colour code.
- Search by colour. If you know the colour name or roughly what colour it is, filter our Citroën colour codes by colour and year to narrow it down.
Still stuck, or not sure the code matches a resprayed panel? Bring the fuel flap or a small part into a branch and we'll match it on the counter.
What you’ll need
Once you have the code, the finish tells you what to order. Citroen colours fall into these groups:
Single-stage
Solid colours
One paint. It dries to a gloss finish, so no lacquer is needed.
252 Citroen colours
Two-stage
Metallic, pearl and most modern colours
Basecoat, then clear lacquer over the top. Matt colours need a matt lacquer instead.
518 Citroen colours
Three-stage
Pearl tri-coat colours
Basecoat, a pearl mid-coat, then clear lacquer. Order both paints together so they match.
