Does anyone have the factory paint codes with colors for the 1990-1991 rams? I got the packerd on the cab for it, it just doesn't seem right with the codes I'm pulling up online. I have factory paint on it so I know at least it's not aftermarket, and if these trucks didn't have issues with the paint fadeing I could take it to the auto body shop to get it matched.

HE4 .. Colorado Red
HY3 .. Sand Metallic
JT8 .. Dark Tundra Metallic

JB6 .. Dark Spectrum Blue Metallic (CC)
JB2 .. Light Spectrum Blue Metallic (CC)
DX8 .. Black (CC)
KAC .. Silver Star (CC)
KS7 .. Dark Silver Metallic (CC)
GW7 .. Bright White (CC)

Interior trim colors:
T7 .. Tundra
M6 .. Crimson Red

Thank you,

I have had mine repainted. Paint was mixed by NAPA. The color code on the touch up can provided is "PB2 . Light Spectrum Blue Metallic . 1990-1991 Dodge". So that is a third code. That color is the same as the upper body color of your pick up.

Thank you,

BlueW250 paint list is correct. The first letter is a year thing, next letter and number would be the color code you would match to.

So after weeks of digging up different codes, colors and looking at other dodges paint colors; I've found the answer from a old timer that worked at dodge building plant on the assembly line. If your truck was ordered through dodge with multiple/specific or unique upgrades (i have quite a few apparently) it can effect some or every code on your engine firewall vehicle. Thus you could/will have codes that you can not find when you type them in or cross reference with maintenance manuals/ other sources. Now why that happened; he couldn't give me an answer on it.

Long story short BlueW250 and WV_Ram were right as i have Light Spectrum Blue Metallic and Dark Spectrum Blue Metallic. Another weird thing is dodge didn't officially recognize one of these colors as a option trucks when you go back and look at their sales pamphlets or cross reference the color to their book. I forget which one the man said, but its one of the two. He said the color was listed to be used for cars and sedans.

The more you know.
