It's B, then for an 81 car it's B1, 82 car it's B2, 83 car B3 etc etc....
Special Black is A, an 81 car is A1, my 89 is A9, etc etc.



Just to ilustrate how the system works, hope that helps. If you ask for "diamond white" at a paint place they'll do you B1, the 81 shade.

thanks that explains a lot! I guess the B1 is the brighter then B...9 ?
So I guess B1 shall be my choice....or perhaps the focus white colour I just been told. It would be an original colour though...that kinda is a plus.

"Arctic white" is super bright next to diamond white which is kinda yellowy when sat side by side. Don't know the code for that though...
