Tacoma colors...

Hello All. Is there away to easily find out the color of a Tacoma? Most sites just list silver or gray and not the specific color. There are a couple of Tacomas I am looking at and I would like to know the specific color.

Thanks all.

 

kinda depends on the year

 

Other than running the VIN, or asking the dealer/seller, I don’t know of any.
I always avoided sites that use factory or generic advertising photos, I want actual before I invest any more time. That’s said, I know they’re in demand and sell quickly, so it’s probably tough.

 

Hello all. I do know the VIN, just cant seem to find the specific color. This is a 2021 OR.

 

Here is an example. I believe it's cement, but there is at least one color from that year that looks similar.

 

Here’s the colors for all 2021’s - simple google search

The picture is Cement.

 

@The Mink - yeah, I have done that. However, some colors look fairly similar i.e. MGM & cement (at least to my eyes) and I wanted to verify without having to contact the dealer (because sometimes they have no clue).

 

@kent50 - thank you!

 

Isn't the code on the drivers side door frame/pillar

 

There is a 3rd generation color thread in the title threads of the 3rd generation section.

 

@tacofish -- that is what I have read. However, I have not seen the cars in person yet and therefore can't verify.

 

MGM is quite a bit darker than cement

 

Ohhhhh

I understand now

 

@baldbeardedtaco - that is what I thought. However, sometimes the lighting in the images is off.....or way off. So, it can be tough for me to tell the difference.

 

For normal eyes, it is impossible to confuse cement with Magnetic Gray Metallic, in any light. Maybe Silver and Cement in certain light, but not MGM and Cement.

 

Depending on lighting where the picture was taken, especially if it is inside under fluorescents. Lunar Rock and Cement can look similar in web pictures.

 

The "greys"

Cement (Flat Gray): 2017 (Pro Only) 2018 - 2021 (Lower models)


Celestial Silver Metallic (Normal Boring Silver): 2016+


Magnetic Gray Metallic (MGM - Darker Graphite Gray): 2016+


Lunar Rock (Flat Greyish Green): 2021 (Pro Only) 2022 - 2023 (Lower models) - This one pops up sometimes when filtering by "Gray" or "Green" depending on the dealer, personally I would call it green

 

It is good you are investigating colors. My bother is color-blind and one time he bought a purple truck because he thought it was blue.

 

My personal preferences.....oh and my white paint sucks too!!

1) Cement
2) Lunar Rock
3) Silver
4) MGM
