Default Silly question - what color is my '95 Disco?



I'm missing the plate that has the color and trim codes - what is this color called, and the code would be a bonus. I need to order a touch up pen for a couple scratches.


Thanks!

Coniston Green. There might be a code on the plaque inside the drivers door frame.

I had a similar issue when i bought my 95 ...was you's ever repainted ??...half of mine had been painted and it sort-of matched....lol....paint code sticker was gone.....long story short...ended up calling Land Rover customer service and with my vin # they gave me the original color and paint code....a lot of body shops will remove the code sticker if they dont use original colors and codes...so you may be on your own as to what color it actually is now....but it sure looks like Coniston Green

Mostly original paint. The grille and one fender have been replaced/repainted. They painted the whole grille green, which looks a bit odd. Radiator support got replaced as part of that incident, hence the missing plate. It was a one-owner truck from San Diego, overall, super, super clean and well cared for. Shiny nuts and bolts underneath!
