Default Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 - Colours?

im sure many posts and threads have asked the same question, but im looking for a solid answer so that i dont make any mistakes please help

so far this is the list of original colours that i have, im looking to change around the saff database a bit, so just want to confirm all of the factory colours if everyone can take a look and tell me any ive missed out?
  • Diamond White
  • Ebony Black
  • Flint Grey
  • Magenta Red
  • Mallard Green
  • Moondust Silver
  • Moonstone Blue
  • Nouveau Red
  • Radiant Red
  • Smokestone Blue
was there only one black used on the 4x4's?

i will be doing the 2wd section shortly... and will post up a seperate thread for them

thanks in advance

not sure about gold

burgundy might have been magenta or nouveau, or maybe there really was a burgundy


ive always thought there was more than one black (2 blacks on the 4x4's?)
i think there's a metallic black and thats the main reason why i made this thread, just want to confirm this, and if there is one, what is the name of the colour, im not 100% sure on it, so someone on here will clear it up for sure

does anybody know the true answer?

thanks for the input Lee

not sure about this, but do you reckon as its from 93, it could include escos colours? as i know there was an ash black on them, not sure what year it came from, but i think it was available on the big turbo models?

cant wait to find out what colour your mates one is
