What colour is my '90 90q20v?

[john clarke]

Thanks Lloyd,

Saw the LZ7M on paintscratch but mine is definitely darker than what appears
on the screen for that one.  Could be off slightly and maybe my monitor is
off too.  Next step going to the suppliers, but I don't know what success
I'll have since this code really doesn't seem to exist.  I've e-mailed Audi
Canada, sometimes we get things that Americans don't, no reply yet.  Maybe
it's a colour that was only meant for Europe?   I have an early model as
well  (#000172), maybe there was a change in colours mid-stream.

John
