Hi all,
my ride's (TOYOTA IST) color code is 057. Anyone has an idea of what color is that exactly. IMO looks like pearl white .. but haven't found out on the color code thread.

My chassis is the : NCP60
Engine : 2NZ-FE

1300 CC.

It's a damn lot different from US specs ...

057 is "golden pearl" that color is not offered on the scion xa's

Thanks for the info ..
specs for Japanese market is not only different for the engine, chassis but also color .... hmmm.
Still nice to see that the american sisiter (SCION) looks same.

Found this link on post about the new xB RS5 color discussion. All of Toyota's colors are listed, altho I didn't see 3P2 (BCP) on the list.

057 Golden Pearl


The hick is that my car is white ... nothing close to gold ... factory paint !

Maybe the 057 is used as a topcoat and a pearl undercoat, then when adding gold pearl topcoat it is used for that code?
Listing as a topcoat and background sort of proves they use it for two purposes, maybe a tinted clearcoat (amber?) gives the Gold Pearl name for the same white color code!

057 is the color code. it is a 3 stage paint. a white basecoat with a pearl topcoat, then a clearcoat. the backgroung color is a solid white and the topcoat is a transparent pearl coat.
