COLOR CODERY5 - Adriatic BlueGenesis Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the definitive executive blue for the Genesis lineup. Since 2018, it has served as the anchor color for the G90 and G80, eventually finding its way onto the G70 and the broad shoulders of the GV80. It is a deep, sophisticated navy that feels substantial. Because your car has likely seen a few years of sun and road grit, the finish might look a bit darker than it did on the showroom floor, but that classic maritime depth remains the hallmark of the brand's luxury identity.

Technical Details

This finish is a pearl metallic. This means you are dealing with tiny, light-reflecting particles that give the paint its characteristic glow. These flakes are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If they aren't perfectly mixed, your repair will look like a flat, dull smudge instead of a deep blue. Pearl finishes are prone to mottling, which looks like dark stripes or splotches, if the paint is applied too thick in one spot. To avoid this, you need to be patient and work in thin, controlled layers.

Best Practices

You can find your color information on the black manufacturing plate located inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Genesis Adriatic Blue (check for code RY5), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up those pearl flakes. Test the color on the included card first to ensure the darkness and flake density match your car's current state. When you move to the actual repair, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the metallic particles from clumping. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to ensure a flat, level surface that blends into the original finish.
