Question: Is this thread to help gather color code charts for the sake of other sources going extinct? If so, I know of a site out there that has nearly accurate colors listed with the codes. I forgot which one it is but I don't have a problem looking for it.

There's a link at the top of the page to a post in the VRD, this is the link https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/a-lis ... eir-codes/

Is that what you were thinking of?

no I was thinking of a website that gives a visual of almost every color.

I wanted to find a Volvo paint code color chart with a fairly clear color representation. On the Samsungs, I needed to turn up my brightness to 70%+ (I keep it about 30% avg) to be able to see the colors more clearly. My MSI 1440p IPS display provides a better viewing experience than my Samsungs.

My favorite website: https://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/volvo/
A decent alternative: https://www.hdpaintcode.com/volvo/
