The paint code is 90D for Pastel White and there are two shades/mix formula - '90D and '90D light' according to my Paint Factors (KETTS). Mine is an '87 and Is the '90D Light'. The 90D standard was totally wrong for my van.

True, Red is the worst, fortunatley the 90D Light was a perfect colour match even after 20 years of weathering, us folks with with boring White vans have the advantage...................... :D .
