Merlot/VR/Icon. All the same colour?

As above. Were the Mk1 Merlot, VR-A and the Mk2 Icon all the same colour? I know the Mk1’s were - but the Mk2?

The mk2 Icon of 2000 was definitely marketed as ‘Art Vin Rouge/Red Mica’ - so I assume that it was exactly the same A1Q colour code paint as the UK Mk1 Merlot and the JDM VR-Limited Combination A.  But I have no evidence on the paint code for the Icon.

Thanks for the reply .

The Icon uses the 23E code but that’s not to say it isn’t exactly the same colour though!


As you say, it is described in the same way.
