440 S colour code 240-51
Hi,
I'm new here and I'd like to say "hello" to everyone. I've just bought a 1995 440 S as a replacement for my old 440 who got smashed in an accident last month. I'm thinking about fitting a spoiler into the new car but I'm unsure about his colour code. The VIN plate says it's 240-51 but I've compared it with pictures of other cars in this colour and it doesn't seem to match. 240-51 is Forest Green but my car is in more blueish shade than that. I'm thinking it might have been repainted as the paintwork is in excellent condition as for a car of that age. Does anyone know whether this colour is actually Forest Green or maybe someone have got a Volvo in the same colour as mine? (It looks more blue on pictures than it really is) Thanks! Renata |

The paint code 240-51 is a two part code - the 240 refers to the colour described as Forest Green the 51 refers to the particular shade. This could be why it looks different to other Forest Green cars
