Rioja Red is on paint code 568 and 69L and was used between 1992 and 1996.  The paint is a pearlescent and not a metallic (no aluminium is used when mixing this colour).  As it is not a particularly popular colour, that is why most people haven't heard of it.

Is that the really dark, deep red? Not seen it often, like it, but don't think it's the best suited to the calibra of the colours it came in.
Any pics mate?

Where is can i find the actual colour of my cally? is there somewhere where the codes written?

The stupid log book says silver but theres more to it than that.....its a buit different to the ones i have seen before and photos dont really do it justice or show it up the way it is.

Hi, have a look at your slam panel under the bonnet, it will show you your paint code then you can look at the list at the start of this thread and see what colour it is  :)
