There exists a website called Encycolorpedia; I haven't found the list of VW colors but you can search by name, e.g. 'Mexico Beige' gets Volkswagen Mexico Beige / #d9a06f Hex Color Code Schemes, Charts, Palettes, Paints & RGB / CMYK / HSL Conversion

It lists everything imaginable:
  • Color Space Conversions (RGB, HSL, 23 others)
  • Color Blindness Simulation (!)
  • Color Schemes for #d9a06f / Color Combinations & Harmonies
  • Related Named Colors
  • Colors from Paint Charts / Paint Brands & Suppliers (the three closest colors from 100 different suppliers (Krylon, PPG, Pantone, Humbol etc. with a ΔE for each one)

It doesn't find Shantung Gold, but if I get an RGB value elsewhere, you can search for and it will generate a page for that. Here's Mountbatten Pink (the manliest pink).

The average color of Universe is Cosmic Latte. So if you want to blend in () the closest VW color is Cashmere White #f9f4e3, else Champagne Pearl #fcf6ea, else Light Ivory #fef6de. This is awesome, I feel all empowered.

What is your favorite Volkswagen Color?
