RGB dilemma

Well, it should be easy to test out the theory.

Earl suggests that the colour number may be different for foreign and US markets. This could be the case, but I doubt it. [sorry Earl ]

The reason I doubt it is because the paint mixing industry is a world-wide business, not just Subaru of America. For that reason, I think each paint code [i.e. number] will be a unique mixture. This implies no matter where you are in the world, if you give your chassis paint code to the paint mixers, they can match your paint.

My Ebony with code 235 is definitely red mica based.

Is there anybody who has an Ebony car, paint code 135, who can look closely at in in the correct light, and verify whether the car has red mica or green mica?

Earthworm, does your registry database identify any owners of cars with code 135, so we can ask them to check?
