Apple/Apple or Garnet/Argent

[92 Ty 1173]

So I have Ty 1862. bought it 2 years ago and it was red/red when I got it. I found some old pics on here from a few years ago and it was red/red then also. But I recently ran the rpo codes from the glove box on Comp Combine(?) and according to that it lists it as Medium garnet red metallic and farther down has the two tone code for argent gray. Can someone tell me the codes I need to look for to tell what color it should be. Or even a site I can double check against. Thanks

Is it possible that the dash was replaced somewhere along it's life?

Re: Apple/Apple or Garnet/Argent

I just checked the sheet I have. It was from compnine.com, 72U, yep got it. Thanks Jimmy. But the more I check the codes the more I get confused. I have a ZY1-color combination solid solid paint combo, a 72U code then further down a BYB trim equipment- exterior, gray?? WTF? Any ideas?
For my other truck it is listed as 12U- exterior color silver metallic-exterior color, primary,white,upper. So that description it should be white/gray but my red one isn't described the same way.

All truck bodies are solid color.The BY* codes are cladding colors.

Re: Apple/Apple or Garnet/Argent

I guess the 72u has a generic description on this site. If I keep the truck I want to make it the original colors, thanks again Jimmy.

Re: Apple/Apple or Garnet/Argent

No prob. In all GM ad's/videos they call it Apple Red.

Actual Garnet Red is called DK RED (48U) and FWIW Forest Green is called MED MALACHITE MET (44U),but they call it Forest Green.

Teal green is called Teal blue. :dunno: They call our motors Vortec V6's.
