I recently returned from Holland with a light green metallic 309. (1992)
I need a door in the same colour, but have only turned up a black one as a quick fix. (Not ideal, no.)
Did Peugeot make cars in this colour in the UK? I haven't seen any around. And if so, does anyone know its name?

What colour are the Roland Garros ones ?? (if there is a rg 309)

No RG 309 in the UK but 205 RGs & 309Gti Goodwood are Pinewood Green, Paint code MONP. 306 Cabrio RGs are different, Tie Break green which is lighter but not that light.

Can you not find the colour code on it?
I'm not sure of the location on a 309 but it will be a 4 or 5 letter sequence of which the first 3 will be the colour code. I spray yachts now, not cars but I remember some PSA group cars used to have the paint code stencilled on the inner wing. My 406 has it on a sticker on the A pillar.
Presumably you're looking at putting some paint on it yourself or there is no reason for you to know the colour name, any decent paint shop will have no problem finding it. If you do get the colour code the I've found that www.rmpaint.net is very useful for finding colour information. You could even look there to find the code of all the metallic greens used by Peugeot in 1992 (Or '91. Who knows when it was built) to give you an idea of what your looking for.

Thanks for the input.
I was hoping that a green door (£30 from a breaker) would be cheaper than respraying the black door to match.
As it happens, I can't see a colour code anywhere, no. The RM website would be interesting, but their search function is currently unavailable. Moreover, their colour code location finder only works for recent Peugeots.

On the RM site -
click on - colour information
then - colour register
enter - Peugeot - 309 - 1992 in the appropriate boxes.
put green as the colour class and metal as the effect and you will get a list of colours. Don't worry about multiple listings of the same colour code and the T1,T2 bit. They just refer to the different shades of the same colour. hopefully you'll find EQZ, M0QZ or M1QZ somewhere on your car.

Um . . . but is that the same as the same colour?
Reminds me of the old Johnny Cash song, 'Forty Shades Of Green'
<i>I wish that I could spend an hour at Dublins churning surf
I long to watch the farmers drain the bogs and spade the turf
to see again the thatching of the straw the women clean
Id walk from Cork to Larne to see those Forty Shades of Green

Maybe the one black door isn't so bad
