COLOR CODERN2 - Ocado Green PearlHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color signals a shift for Hyundai toward a rugged, outdoorsy identity. You will mostly see it on the redesigned Santa Fe and the Palisade, where its dark, earthy tone matches the boxy, adventurous lines of those vehicles. In the shade or under a heavy coat of winter road salt, it can easily be mistaken for black. However, once you clean the panels and get them into direct light, the green emerges with a sophisticated, organic depth. Since your car is likely a newer model, the surrounding paint still has its factory richness, so your goal is to replicate that deep, moody transition from shadow to highlight.

Technical Details

Because this is a pearl finish, the color relies on tiny mica flakes that reflect light differently depending on your viewing angle. This creates a multi-dimensional effect that a solid paint cannot match. The risk with pearls is that the mica flakes like to settle at the bottom of the container. If they are not distributed evenly, your repair will look like a flat dark spot rather than a glowing green highlight. Consistency is everything here. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes can "drown" or clump, which makes the color look darker than the rest of the panel. Light, even layers are the only way to ensure the pearl looks correct once the repair is finished.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hyundai Ocado Green Pearl (check for code RN2), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those mica flakes. You will find that paint code printed on the silver manufacturing sticker inside your driver's side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card first to see how the green pops under a light. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to ensure an even distribution of the pearl particles. Work in the shade to prevent the paint from drying mid-stroke, and allow plenty of drying time between your light layers to build up the depth needed to match the factory finish.
