If you want to repair a scratch, paint chip, or minor paint damage on your Genesis vehicle, the first step is finding the correct paint code. Using only the color name may result in choosing the wrong shade, so it is always recommended to use the factory paint code listed on your vehicle.
In this guide, you'll learn where to find Genesis paint codes, how to read them correctly, and which Genesis models are most commonly searched by owners looking for their color code.
Where Is the Genesis Paint Code Located?
On most Genesis vehicles, the paint code can be found on the vehicle information sticker located inside the driver's door.
Open the driver's door and look for the vehicle information label. This label contains important details such as the VIN number, manufacturing information, tire information, and paint code.

How to Read a Genesis Paint Code
One of the most common mistakes is relying only on the color name, such as:
- Uyuni White
- Vik Black
- Savile Silver
- Makalu Gray
- Capri Blue
These are marketing names for Genesis colors. When ordering touch-up paint or a paint repair pen, you should always use the actual paint code listed on the vehicle.
