Find Your Land-Rover's Color Code

A color code is the unique ID for your car's specific paint. Color codes are the only way to guarantee a perfect match - names are unreliable.

Where to find your Land-Rover Color Code

Land-Rover color codes can be found on a Color ID Tag, which is typically a small, rectangular sticker or metal plate packed with technical vehicle data. It often features a silver, black, or white background with dense alphanumeric text and barcodes.

In addition to the Color Code, the Color ID Tag contains a lot of other information - like the VIN, wheelbase, and interior trim. See the diagram below to determine which of these codes corresponds to your exterior paint.

Identifying your Color Code

Later model Land Rovers have paint codes on the drivers door jamb. Older models usually have them under the front hood on the radiator support. Codes may appear as short alphanumeric strings like LRC961 or HAF; both can refer to the same color on one vehicle. Example: LRC961 HAF corresponds to Epsom Green Clearcoat. Labels may show either LRC961 or HAF. On older cars, locations include both the drivers door jamb and the radiator support.

Where to Look for your Land-Rover's Color Code

Driver's Side Door or Door Jamb

The most common location. The code may be on the pillar itself, the door edge, or near the latch.
Radiator Support

This is the metal bar at the very front of the engine bay, usually visible when the hood is open.

Frequently Asked Questions About Color Codes

Where is the paint code on my Land-Rover?

Most paint codes are found on the driver’s door jamb. Other common locations include under the hood, inside the trunk near the spare tire, or less commonly the glove box. You can use our make and year-specific diagrams to confirm the exact location for your vehicle.

Can I use my Land-Rover's VIN to find the paint color code?

No. The VIN does not contain your paint color code. It only helps identify formula variations after the correct color code is known. You must locate the paint code on the vehicle itself for accurate matching.

What does a Land-Rover paint code look like?

Paint codes are short combinations of letters and numbers, typically 2–6 characters long. Formats vary by manufacturer, but the code will always be clearly labeled on the vehicle’s identification plate or sticker.

What’s the difference between a Color Code and a Factory Code?

The Color Code is always required: it identifies the paint color on your vehicle. The Factory Code is only required on certain vehicles. Factory Codes identify where or how that color was produced – some car manufacturers use multiple factories, which can result in slight shade variations. When requested, the Factory Code helps us mix the correct color for you.

Are Land-Rover paint codes in the same place on every vehicle?

No. Some manufacturers use consistent locations, while others vary by model and year. Always check the diagrams for your exact vehicle year and make.

Why are some Land-Rover paint codes harder to find than others?

Some manufacturers place paint codes in hidden or unusual locations, such as under trunk carpeting or among many other numbers. This is common with brands like Audi, Porsche, and Mercedes.

How do I find interior Land-Rover paint color codes?

Interior colors are not factory-coded on vehicles. To identify an interior color, you’ll need to match it using physical color chips or a body shop reference book. Once identified, we can make the paint for you.

What if I still can’t find my Land-Rover paint code?

Double-check all locations shown in the diagrams, including less obvious areas. On classic or rare vehicles, you may need to contact the manufacturer directly. If you’re still unsure, contact us and we’ll help guide you.

More About Land-Rover Color Codes

Later model Land Rovers have paint codes on the drivers door jamb. Older models usually have paint codes under the front hood on the radiator support. Not the easiest to find. Once you know the color code format it is not too difficult. Codes can appear as short alphanumeric strings like LRC961 or HAF. Both forms can refer to the same color on one vehicle. Land Rover often uses the same color across many models. The same color may have different names for different models. The paint code is more reliable than the color name for ordering paint. Example code LRC961 HAF corresponds to Epsom Green Clearcoat. You may see either LRC961 or HAF printed on the label. Use the code when ordering to ensure correct paint match. Check both drivers door jamb and radiator support on older cars.
