Kingfisher vs Pelican blue

[UrS4boy]

I was doing somebody's build tag for their 1995 S2 last night. The Paint Code was LY5T which is supposed to be "kingfisher" blue. I actually could not find that paint code listed in any ACOQ or A80Q info. I did find a 1997 Audi brochure in my files that showed "pelican" blue which looked similar. Unfortunately, not paint codes shown in the brouchure, just names.

I thought there was a thread on S2 paint colours but "Search" did not return any results.

Questions:

Are Kingfisher and Pelican similar/different? What are the two paint codes?

Why isn't LY5T listed with the normal S2 paint codes?

Is there a paint code list somewhere for these and other odd colours?

Thanks in advance.

It was a lifestyle colour. Maybe that's why you can't find it??

Optional Lifestyle supplement colours;

Byzanz Metallic (LY4N or LY4T)
Kingfisher/Pelican Blue Metallic (LY5T)
Pearl Magenta Metallic (?)
Tropical Green Metallic (LY6L)
Brilliant Yellow (LY1B)
Aqua Metallic (LY5S)
Cricket Green (LZ6N)
Pearl Inca Orange Metallic (LOD2)
Lime Pastel (?)
Duck Egg Blue (?)

Kingfisher and pelican are the same colour. Odd but true.

It would be interesting to note how many S2's there are in the lifestyle colours.
Apart from the obvious ones that forum members have (ie the kingfisher/pelican blue)

The yellow one brings the 'infamous' Mr Suga to mind but Ive never seen a lime pastel or duck egg blue S2 !

Thanks for that. Where are these lifestyle colours documented in VAGCAT or the like?

Anybody with the lifestyle colours in a brochure?

[Drummer87]

I've seen the brochure before I will track it down for you. iirc was only for 95 models. But I could be wrong.

Thanks. I had seen the duck egg blue before but not the lime pastel. Where do you get touch-up paint, at Mario's Gelato shop?
