the sapphire blue is more pearl, whereas the strathcarn is darker

it should say the colour code on the service document, and on the aluminium plate on the bulkhead

just had a look under the bonnet can't see any ally plate, it's just this other bit of paper that is putting me off if i ring lexus service will they be able to tell me for sure ?

Mine isn't on a plate it's embossed on the body.......

Open your bonnet and look towards the windscreen, right in the center on the chassis wall under the rubber seal you should see the VIN No. and the model No., the paint code should be right there too.......
