Here is the color and spec chart for the US-Spec Scion xB from 2008-. If you see an error please post it here and I will correct the page and graphic ASAP. You can upload a photo of your car to the site by clicking on the above graphic, then clicking on the appropriate camera icon next to your color.

I will make updates on the chart within a day of any errors or additions posted. To confirm or add your color to the chart just post a photo or description of your car along with the model year (or production date) and the color code. The three-character color code can be found on the production information affixed to the car. On newer cars it is usually on a label in the driver's side door jamb. On older cars it is usually on a metal plate attached to the firewall near the back of the engine compartment.

Last one is Clasic Silver for the Xb

why can't barcelona red be for the B? cmon guys, giving the D all the good colors

The gray would've been nice too, since there's no more Camo. All that design effort into a car and brand and this is the best they can do for paint? Not even the Gold color we saw in Miami...

This post may make me a new xB owner when I get back to the states since I love blue and that blue is rather nice from the chart. I am hoping in person it is basically a little darker than Dodge's Intense Blue.

There may not be one you can look at in your current location. I checked Toyota Europe and it does not look like Nautical Blue Metallic is used there.

The Nautical Blue is also used on the US Yaris, RAV4 and 4Runner. I looked at a RAV (on a cloudy day) just to see the color and it is very dark. I thought it looked black with a blue tint to it. Sounds like it might be what you are looking for, but too dark for my taste.

Like some others, I am pretty disappointed in the color choices.
I would like the Speedway Blue used on the Tacomas. Or maybe even the Blizzard White Pearl from the RAV. Maybe I could wait for the 09. :silly:

cool!
Not sure what you mean by that, but Blue Onyx Pearl looks to be a similar shade to Nautical Blue Metallic and I assume that is a good thing for you. :wink:

"Not even the Gold color we saw in Miami..."

Maybe that will be the '08 Release series color. I saw alot of pics on this site. http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2008-scion-xb/. i kinda like that light blueish-grayish color.

Yeah, I saw the Teal in person at the ScionBackstage event and its cool. Looks better in the dark.

nope.. very unlikely.

it is meant to be the prototype and the color is a FiveAxis exclusive.... you can try to copy it and have it painted yourself... but that's as far as anyone can get.

On the subject of colors:There is now a new brouchure at your Scion dealer featuring the new Xb and the Xd! and there is a small section of color swatches! For true viewing I suggest looking under flouresent light - the darker colors like Nautical Blue and Blackberry Crush look better - in sunlight they all look black!

I am really getting upset with the colors availible. IMHO:

Silver=boring, doesn't showcase the new curves, etc
Teal=Interesting in some pics, downright ugly in most
White=Not too bad, but still a basic white
Blackberry=Boring and too dark
Blue (seen on other Toyotas)=Beautiful on a sunny day on a clean car from less than 5 feet...like any other dark blue otherwise
Black=Prolly what I will end up with, but since it isn't quite black it may not match black wheels well

I have been shopping lots of other cars, and pretty much everything else I looked at had at least one color I really liked. The Fit has a nice vibrant blue, a true red, and that sweet metallic orange color. Even the Aveo has some nice colors!

Now, I assume the color palette sucks because they will be coming out with the RS cars eventually, but I don't think I could justify sitting around for another 8 months waiting for RS1 to come out on the remote chance that I like that color. All of the RS xb colors so far just didn't work for me, though I liked all of the tC release colors.

i wonder what colors theyll use for the RS ones?

I'm a bit disappointed with the color choices...I was hoping to get something funky, but now I don't know which color I would get...

I will say that the color choices were a tad bland. I do like the blackberry crush. That is the color that I have on order.

What is this color? Will this be the next Release Series?

ooopps sorry didnt read all the replies

it is meant to be the prototype and the color is a FiveAxis exclusive.... you can try to copy it and have it painted yourself... but that's as far as anyone can get.

I like the nautical blue. To me, it seems a little more blue than that dark blue on my 05 xB. I would like to get a tattoo for my car. Something interesting and fringe on the hatch. Any suggestions?

I have seen in person the teal and blackberry crush. I bought the blackberry crush and think the color is stunning.

I have already had comments on the color. It changes with the light.

i dig the white, other than that i am waiting for RS 1.1

Are these things still marketed as a blank canvas.....to be individualized both internally and externally? If so - the color can be viewed as a base to work from. When my 05 xB collected $4000 dollars of damage at the hand of a Dakota bumper I decided to break the camo up a bit. Nothing too flashy (I'm not in the target demographic). My body man was concerned with the color choices. My answer was something along the lines of "what difference does it make?....I already drive what most view as the ugliest car with the ugliest color!"

yes, I think of my blue xB2 as a blank canvas also. I want to get something. I have been looking at pinstripes and airbrush work and just trying to gather ideas until some inspiration hits me. I'm not in the demographic either. At 48, I am more of a baby boomer than anything, although I'm at the young edge of my demographic, a stylish car that isn't right on the ground is perfect for me. I totally HATE hunkering down and pushing up to get in and out of my best friend's Miata. Her car is pretty cool looking, but getting in and out... not fun. Scions are much better planned out for people who are starting to get achey but love modern styles.

star2, We are the same age. When I settled on my xB I also looked at the Mazda 6 wagon. Never even took it for as test drive. Falling in, and climbing out, is NOT something I wanted to do 10 or so times a day. However, afte my wife of 26+ years left I seriously considered getting something a bit more suitable for "dating" women of our age.
Can you imagine meeting a lady in, say a bar.....inviting her to go some place quieter....walking her to the car (which is around the corner).....and having her hightail it back in when she sees you reach for the door handle :doh:
That said, I was going to trim my box with camo decalling - but went with a darker green surrounded by silver and gold (which is gone now).

I am sorry about your marriage. That completely sucks and blows. I've been married 28 years, and frankly, the amount of energy it would take to get a divorce is too daunting, but if we split up I would NEVER EVER get married again. I love being this age, and the only thing that would make it better is alone time, of which I have NONE. The only alone time I get is in my Scion, that's why I love the underdash lights nd all the other goodies inside. Riding in my second gen xB is really the most fun I get to have, and there is plenty of "social space" in it. Get out there and enjoy the rest of your life, dude, make it work for ya!!!! :-)

Thanks boss. The break-up was quite a shock. Shoot....it took me a good two weeks to get over it :rofl: The effort could have been daunting. But she wanted out - I made it easy and did not even get an attorney. Not Sure I'd Recommend That Though - In Retrospect.

Seriously, with a solid year under my belt - I'm getting very, very comfortable. The youngest just graduated highschool, his big brother is making plans to 'get out' etc. So things are looking good. I might even run the vacume.

Now I'm deciding what to do about cars - keep the xB? - trade up to the 08? - shop for something directed more toward us? spend some money on my Reatta? some combo of the above? Who knows. I'm seriously getting into "wing-it" mode. And liking it.

Cool. The 08 is really REALLY a nice piece of work. I am totally diggin mine.

i JUST Just got my first Scion this weekend and we went withthe 08 xb. Nautical blue.
It was a toss up between that and black. They both have a good amount of mettalic sparkle in them (yes, even the black. It actually has more thatn the blue). We lloked at the blue, black, silver and blackberry. It seems that the stunning colors from this series are the blue, black and blackberry. I think the blue highlights the new curves....

Don't rule them out until you see them in person.

YAY for the blue ones. I love mine so much, and I think it's so sexy, that I just love to look at it.
I'm weird.

I wish there was at least one bright color. I like the white but that would be a letdown after my 2.0 yellow. Maybe they will pay attention and put out a good RS color next year when I'm ready to buy. :pray:

I have hesitated on buying my XB2. Part of the reason is that I would like to see what the RS package will look like. I hoping its really good. If not, I am getting the teal. I really liked the colors for the four XB1 RSes.

::::Delurking for a moment here::::::

I hope this doesn't get me in trouble...I just saw the color for the RS 5: Gold Rush. I think we can assume it is the awesome color we saw in Chicago with the incredible Five Axis body kit. You spoke it, they heard. I wonder when it will show?

you've gotta add the new sting ray metallic!

Yes, for 2009 Stingray Metallic replaces Nautical Blue. Updated, thanks!

Just saw this at work. Could this be the gold mica that wasn't being produced? By the way I have seen about 7 xB's and 5 xB2's now at work, and this is by far the ugliest color ever on a vehicle. It actually has a green tint that reminds me of changing diapers.

Sorry for the bad pic, my Katana phone camera is a POS.

no that is the RS5. the gold color that isnt being produced is the copper-ish color of the 5Axis prototype show car

can we add a section for the new Stingray color? I want to see RL pictures of this color

me too.

Added a thread for Stingray metallic, no images quite yet, though:

Is there a list anywhere that shows the number of cars in a specific color? After they stopped making the NBM I'm real curious to find out how many are out there. There can't be that many more then a release series.

I don't have 2008 numbers in yet, but if you go to www.toyotareference.com and float over the colored bars for each Scion you will see a popup that shows the number produced. It will be updated with 2008 numbers soon.

Damn, still no numbers for 2008 :/

/me waits

Speaking of 2008... does anyone know if there is much leftover stock? I'm in the market for an xB, and my first choice would be NBM.

Thanks.

I doubt you'd get a new NBM since they stopped offering them in early summer. Good Luck

RS2 was just announced to dealers in Absolutely Red...

My RS 4.5 is one of 2528 :D

Thanks for updating the numbers!

What happened to the othe 115 Gold Rush Micas?

That is a good question and I sent an email to my contact at Scion to find out. No response yet.

I just got word that for 2010 Blackberry Crush Metallic is being replaced by Sizzling Crimson Mica, which is also a tC color. There is also a new standard and optional head unit for the xB, and pricing for 2010 remains the same as 2009.

are the color codes the same for 2008 and 2009? I got a 2009 BSP and dont wanna put the wrong paint on my new fenders.

Yes, check the chart on page one of this topic and you will see all colors and codes.

at the top of the chart it just say 2008, so I wasnt sure if it still held true for 09's as well.

I'm pretty sure most dealers on on the 2010 now.

ive seena few 2010s in dealers here already

Corrected.
The new Release 7.0 xB color called Murasaki is paint code 9AD.

Murasaki on the 2010 Scion xB RS7.0 is 9AD
Elusive Blue Metallic on the 2009 RAV4 is 9AF
Iced Amethyst Mica on the 08-10 Highlander is 9AG
Black Currant Metallic on the 2010 Scion xD is 9AH
(no 9AI as Toyota doesn't use the letter "I" in paint codes)

ooh that would be awesome

xB Release Series 7.0
The xB RS 7.0 comes in a unique "Murasaki" exterior color, which means "purple" in Japanese. This sports-themed Release Series brings together a highly distinctive body kit and TRD performance accessories. Accompanying the new exterior color are the following enhancements:
 DAMD Body Kit: Front and rear lower valance treatments with side skirts
 TRD Sport Muffler: Center exhaust system featuring dual double-walled tips with all stainless steel construction
 TRD Lowering Springs: Lowers the ride height approximately 1-1.5 inches
 RAZO Shift Knob: GT Formula Spec weighted with distinctive black leather embossed surface with RS 7.0 logo and matte silver finish
 Color-Tuned Seating Surface: Black fabric with color-tuned highlights & RS 7.0 logo
 RS Badge: Etched stainless steel individually-numbered badge
 Color-Keyed Spoiler: available as a DIO option (limited quantit

Correction, Murasaki is 9AD, not 9AJ.

Is there a RS7 thread? Should I start one?

Yeah, start one and post the link here.

Apparently there was one already, whoops!

2011 information just hit. Two new regular colors:
Army Rock Metallic (???)
Elusive Blue Metallic (9AF)

And discontinued: Hypnotic Teal

I just added production numbers to the this topic. You can see all 2008- production numbers on the first page of this post. Here is the 2009 update:

Absolutely Red 2266
Black Sand Pearl 4313
Blackberry Crush Metallic 2303
Classic Silver Metallic 4907
Gold Rush Mica 54
Hypnotic Teal Mica 1802
Murasaki 16
Nautical Blue Metallic 12
Sizzling Crimson Mica 1459
Stingray Metallic 3154
Super White 4623

I would also like to point out that two of the colors I just listed represent the RAREST Scions. There were only 12 Nautical Blue Metallic Scion xBs produced in 2009 as that color was discontinued after 2008. Also, 16 Murasaki RS7s were built in 2009 and the rest were built this year. Check the production date on the label in your driver's door jamb. You might own one of these extremely rare cars.

wow i always saw red xb's lately and had no idea it was rs 6. i didnt find out about rs' until recently.

The RS 8.0 was just announced for the 2011 model year. It is limited to 2000 units slathered in the FJ Cruiser's signature Voodoo Blue:

Looks like xB colors will remain unchanged for 2012. (yawn)

they need the green that they use to have on one of the RS xB1's....

that is weird, i had thought there were no NBMs available as of early 2008...Toyota went back and made 12 more for 2009??? new old stock? rebadged? just doesnt make sense.

I agree that it doesn't make sense, and I didn't get an explanation from Toyota when they gave me the production numbers... very strange.

Well, I don't know if this is considered a throwback or if the designers at Scion are just on vacation, but Hot Lava is returning as the Release Series 9.0 version of the xB.

xB RS9.0 = Hot Lava used on an RS for the 3rd time... 2004 xB RS1.0 and 2008 xD RS1.0.
xD RS4.0 = Blizzard Pearl used on an RS for the 2nd time... 2007 tC RS3.0.

Designers = :icon_tired:

Added two more Scion commercials to the archive.

Each of the 3 Hot Lava colors are a slightly different shade just like the Voodoo Blue is slightly different then the paint used on the FJs

Those colors are all the same paint code and SHOULD be the same shade.

i know, i found out the hard way when i applied my touch up paint.
