Where to look on your Volvo
- Door pillar (XC40, XC60, XC90 and other modern models). Low down on the B-pillar, between the front and rear doors.
- Under the bonnet (older models like the 850, S40 and V70). On the slam panel, the bulkhead or a suspension turret.
What the code looks like
Volvo codes are three-digit numbers, such as 019 (Black Stone), 614 (Ice White), 707 (Crystal White) or 717 (Onyx Black).

Can't find the vehicle label?
- Call your local Volvo 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 Volvo 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. Volvo colours fall into these groups:
Single-stage
Solid colours
One paint. It dries to a gloss finish, so no lacquer is needed.
141 Volvo colours
Two-stage
Metallic, pearl and most modern colours
Basecoat, then clear lacquer over the top. Matt colours need a matt lacquer instead.
241 Volvo colours
Three-stage
Pearl tri-coat colours
Basecoat, a pearl mid-coat, then clear lacquer. Order both paints together so they match.
