Paint Code Guide

Where to find your Volvo paint code

The factory colour code that gives your Volvo its exact colour — find it once and order a perfect-match touch-up.

On most Volvo models the paint code is on a sticker under the bonnet, near the strut towers, next to Color / Färg. The code there — for example 717 — is your colour. Copy it exactly.
