Color Index  Color Index International

Rex Art has provided the following index as a color guide to assist you in choosing color. The index shows the color common name, index name, vehicle compatibility and various alternate names used across different lines of paint.

The Color Index Name is a type of international shorthand for identifying colors. The name consists of the following parts:

  1. The category and type of dye or pigment
  2. General hue
  3. Assigned number

An example would be Cobalt Blue (PB 28):

  1. Pigment - as opposed to a dye
  2. Blue
  3. 28

Color Index Name abbreviations are:

Natural Red NR   Pigment Blue PB
Pigment Black PBk   Pigment Brown PBr
Pigment Green PG   Pigment Orange PO
Pigment Violet PV   Pigment White PW
Pigment Yellow PY      
 

Lightfastness (LF) ratings:

1 - Excellent Lightfastness

2 - Very Good Lightfastness

3 - Not Sufficiently Lightfast

Colors and their Index Names

Different colors will sometimes have the same Index Name. Each color is a modification due to variances in cooking processes, various impurities found at different pigment sites, or various chemical additions that modify the original pigment.

Select a letter to go to that color group.
