One more time.

The two colors are not the same. One is 434 and one is 517

When color 434 came out in 1994, it was called Emerald Pearl and stayed that way for the entire model year.

When the 1995 production began, they carried over the same color (434) and the same name (Emerald Pearl). Sometime during the 1995 run, the name was changed to Polo Green Pearl (although the color remained exactly the same when it was introduced in 1994)

So some early production 1995 cars were called Emerald Pearl and some later 1995 cars were Polo Green, but they all were the same color, paint code 434

Beginning in 1996, they introduced a new brighter green (517). They decided to keep the name Polo Green Pearl for this new color and it remained so throughout 1996 and 1997.


1994: Emerald Pearl (434)

1995: Emerald Pearl (434) name changed to Polo Green in late 1995, but still the same color (434)

1996: Polo Green (517) a new brighter green color, but with the same Polo Green name as in late 1995.

1997: Polo Green (517)
