2014 MY Paint Coding Information
INTRODUCTION
Note: This is the most accurate information available at the time of printing.
Various paint manufacturers designate their own stock numbers and coding information although
many of the major suppliers are now using the SOA paint codes to help eliminate possible confusion.
Their color formulations are updated on a continual basis. Some vendors may have different color
names than those provided to them by SOA. Be sure to double-check the codes and formulas
beforehand to help insure an accurate color match. Should discrepancies arise, please refer your
Body Shop contact inquiries to the specific paint vendor or their jobber / supplier for the most
updated formula information.
The paint coding information can be found on the vehicle’s VIN plate.
Subaru color codes are three characters in length.
For the 2014 Model Year, Subaru of America is announcing seven new colors:
•
K6U Carbide Gray
•
K7U Tungsten Metallic
•
J8U Quartz Blue Pearl
•
H5Q Jasmine Green
•
J9U Plasma Green
•
H4Q Burnished Bronze
•
H3Q Deep Sea Pearl
Along with these new colors, an all-new XV Crosstrek Hybrid is being introduced to our line-up for
2014. The XV Crosstrek Hybrid is expected to arrive in Dealer showrooms in the near future. This
color information covers all current and the new models.
