My product plate on my 2004 XC90 shows a color code of C981 and the chart only shows an A981. The color is described as Light Taupe. I’m looking for the correct color for the headliner which I;ve seen described as “Sone” and the console cover color as “Foil Oak”. I’m trying to firm up these specs before I order and if you know of a good source for these please letme know.
Looking for parts for a customer and was told the interior color code for his 2007 Volvo S40 is 59E1. Can you help? The arm rest part number is 39994274
1999 Volvo V70 interior color code 3160. Does anyone know what this color is called?
Hi Matt – I agree w/ others who say thanks for the work on the interior. Your knowledge of Volvos is very impressive. I’ve noticed that 9577 & A577 are Gobi for the S60R & V70R, respectively. However, I have a ’08 C30 with an interior code of 5A77. :^0 My interior is gray cloth. In this case is 5A77 an interior style or should it also indicate the color as well.
TIA – Rick
hi,
I Cannot see Code 2795, It will be beige, but I don’t know what skin tone and to compare it with. Volvo 262C Bertone 1980y,
This doesn’t even list the same code 9981 is shows as the example for the code in the photo.
I have a 2005 v70 interior colour (beige) is down as AA80. unable to locate this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks John
Thanks for your reply about dark gray color. Appreciate your attention!
Hi Matt – Thanks so much for this super informative color code listing! Reaching out because I have a 2007 Volvo S60 and am having the typical issues with the car’s A pillars, but can’t seem to find my interior code color anywhere. Per the VIN tag, it’s 9970 (assuming the nines represent the S60 and regular leather interior), but not sure about the 70? Any help would be much appreciated!
Hi Carter. I find it here https://usparts.volvocars.com/p/Volvo_2007_V70/Upholstery-Seat-Left–Right–Front–Interior-code-9970–A970/42798039/39860483.html for a 2007 V70, so it’s certainly the same for S60 cars.
Thank you, much appreciated!
Hey Matt
Thanks a lot for useful website and it’s content.
I’m looking for color code of the interior elements like climate control, head unit (hu-650 and others) for xc70 p2, 2007. I’m almost sure that color is the same for the whole p2 platform. It looks like off black (4180), but I am not sure. Do you know color code for these elements?
Denis, if there is another shade of the standard very dark grey, I don’t know about the other. Volvo did a bit of parts variance over the years but this isn’t one of those.
I have a 2006 V70 R interior color code appears to be A577. I can not find this from your collection. It is a taupe color. I want to refinish the ‘cracked’ seats. Paint code is Sonic Blue (Pearl Blue) – 470.
Thank you for any help.
Thom
Thom, it’s Gobi. I need to add these to the list. Thanks!

S60R Atacama: 9675
S60R Gobi: 9577
