Default Sapphire Cosworth body colours...

When it comes to Sapphire body colours, which are appropriate to 2wd and 4wd?
Are all red 2wd cars Magenta and all 4x4's Nouveau? Or is it year dependant too?
Is Flint grey 2wd and 4wd?
Any help would be appreciated,

Cheers Paul

Great info cheers, so 4x4 cars did come in magenta, thought they was 2wd only and 4x4's were nouveau, is that age dependant as well though.
