Saab 9-5 Colour Chart (ref: Glacier Blue Twins)

Following a request/suggestion in the Glacier Blue thread, I have listed the 9-5 colours available from my brochure collection. Please note that the "early even number years" 98, 00 and 02 are excluded apart from Hazelnut which was introduced in 02. And that it no longer looks nice as my "tabs" are not recognised!

In the first brochure, Mica is quite distinct from Metallic but they soon acquire the same meaning. Are they the same paint? And that the code numbers are dropped after 02.

Hang on! Lime Yellow was a 9-3 Colour...

So was Dolphin Grey, I think, but not sure. It was very rare - deservedly!

Moved to the Knowledge Base as it will be of most use there and won't drop off the lists.
