What color?

[Pdxguy]

Anyone know what color this is? I messaged him but not sure if he is still active on the forum. Beautiful car.

Golf yellow. I think Steve Blunt owned that car. BlunttechDOTcom.

It's not Golf--not enough green--at least in the picture.  There was a color called Maizegelb (corn yellow) but AFAIK it was only used on Bauer cabriolets (full convertibles, not Targas).  Otherwise, it's not an original '02 color.

I have some color charts, looks like it could be Corona Yellow from E21.

The original owner of this lived in my town.  Would see it around town all the time.  Owned it a few years,then sold it couple years back.   You could rent it for party's and  promo stuff.

Since it's badged a c1 2.3 (which is E21), Coronagelb is totally possible, since E21.  That said when I owned my Golf E12, it was always a very difficult car to get the color to appear properly in photos and that photo definitely looks like it's had a bunch of post processing and a much warmer color temp.

It is/was Bill William’s car, restored by him 10-odd years ago. You should still be able to find the build thread on the site. Definitely not Golf though.

Hard to discern between the actual car color and effect of lighting, processing, etc. My ignorance here, but is there a specific location on the forum for individual builds?

Thanks all

Yes.  It is impossible.   

 

Here is another "what's that yellow" discussion.

 

 

 

Here are examples of the Dakar Yellow color Jim mentions in the links I posted.
