:helpless:I tried posting this on the Paint thread but I got no replies, so I'll just try it here.

I hope I'm on the right forum to ask this question, this is my first time posting here. I have a car other than my Caddy that the previous owner tells me that it is painted with a Cadillac color called Eggplant Purple, but he can't remember the year or model of Cadillac that the paint is for. I'm hoping someone here can give me a paint code for that color, I mainly need the paint for rock chips repair.

Thanks for any help.

I saw that you checked the "Paint Color Names" thread. Did you check this one? There's samples!

Here's the actual link, from '55 and up:

And here's the colors for 1989

In all, I'd say you have "Dark Garnet Red Metallic Clearcoat" with code 76/WA8984.

Good luck! :thumbsup:

Hi Greg,

Yes, I have already looked through all of the samples before I reposted my question and couldn't find Eggplant Purple, but I was hoping that maybe they just were not showing the Eggplant Purple color code, although after having owned different model Cadillacs for quite a few years, just having a color named as Eggplant Purple didn't seem to fit the norm for Cadillac paint color names.:(

Thanks anyway,

John
